Yom Kippur-Day of Atonement

Despite our striving to be ‘good’
We fall short, are unrighteous
Messiah’s offering, atonement
By faith, we’re made righteous.

Trusting, God’s Messiah
His Son, offered for our sin
To forgive us, make us righteous
Circumcise us within.

“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.

With no Temple, no blood offering
God’s Law and Prophets foretold
They deny Messiah, Yeshua
Who alone … for all atoned.

Despite her failures, abuses
Rejection of their Messiah
Our God watches, over Israel
They will know Him, states Zachariah.

Be so blessed, if obeying
But so cursed, if rebelling
Yes, God warned His people
Lest His Word, start betraying.

Yet the lives of those lost
Was not in vain
With the rebirth of Israel
God’s will, He’ll attain.

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.
