Poems

Immanuel Baptist Church
by

Stephen Cope

Immanuel, God with us.
Merciful and mighty is He.
Marvelous and eternal is the
All encompassing love of Jesus.

Nearly at the end of His days,
Untold suffering He did
Endure for the sake of you!
Leave the world behind and
Be saved in an instant.

As you ask Jesus to forgive you.
Praise and adoration begins as
The wonder of what He did sets in.

In this church and so many others the
Salvation that is found in Jesus is
Truly and earnestly proclaimed, for
Immanuel Baptist Church
was birthed upon the
Heels of the desire to bring others to Jesus.

Undaunted by the isolation and strife
that may come the Risen church,
that is based upon
the Rock of Christ
Carries on for they know that the
Heavenly realms will one-day open up
and then it will be too late.

The Father God was involved in the foundation of
Immanuel Baptist Church
and as long as there are two or more
gathered together in prayer,
He is faithful and just to answer those prayers.

Thank You Father God that You have this church in just this place for such a time as this. Thank You that in the good times and the bad this church has stood as a beacon for the lost to see and has not been content to stay within the walls but to go out into the highways and byways proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord. Thank You Lord that for such a time as this that You have set apart these people who continue to see Your vision for Immanuel Baptist Church. People who seek, day in and day out to carry on the task of bearing witness to the truth and the Gospel that is a part of their lives. Thank You Father for showing them that their fellow man is important to you and therefore they are important to Immanuel Baptist Church. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
