Meekness Is Not Weakness, But Controlled Power To Bless, 24 lines
(continued from above) The poem declares that He had power to NOT come to earth, and power to NOT lay His life down. The fourth couplet states: "He had power not to come to the earth, He had power not to lay His life down, Through His power ~ shed His blood ~ priceless worth, In His power ~ He rose ~ He wears a crown." The poem goes on to make a personal appeal for each one to trust Him as Savior, and warns: "Without Him ~ is eternal damnation."
Editors note: It is not that He could not save Himself, but that He would not save Himself. He could have stopped it all, but in meekness chose not to, but to lay down His life to save men's souls. That is power under complete control.
