The Maker
The Maker of the universe
As Man, for man was made a curse.
The claims of Law which He had made,
Unto the uttermost He paid.
His holy fingers made the bough
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed.
He made the forest whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
The sky that darkened over His head
By Him above the earth was spread.
The sun that hid from Him its face
By His decree was poised in space.
The spear which spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God.
The grave in which His form was laid,
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.
The throne on which He now appears
Was His from everlasting years,
But a new glory crowns His brow,
And every knee to Him shall bow.
—F. W. Pitt

Distinguishing Truth 
Charles, this is a powerful reminder that God chose to lay aside independent use of His divine attributes to be a sacrifice for mankind. That is an important message as we begin the new year! May God’s richest blessings be yours in 2017!!

Thanks for this lovely poem. It certainly shows our Creator’s love for all mankind as does that wonderful portion of Scripture in Philippians 2.
