Justin Reamer - The Lion

Lion, lion, roaring loud,
What is the sound that thou makest?
Your roar is fierce,
Your majesty is great,
So what makes you so special now?

You look so great in your majestic mane,
The thing that makes you look like a king,
And you roar,
And all the animals fear you,
For they all see your rigorous might.

Yet, you are something enigmatic,
For you may be 'King of the Jungle' to some,
'King of the Animals' to others,
But I know there is a different form of you,
Someone Who is to come in the distant future.

At first, He was a Lamb,
Born to bring peace throughout the world,
Spreading the Word through love and amity,
Amity that is so great that Love is amazing.
He was born to be a Saviour,
And He was a friend to all.

Now, He will come back to be a Lion,
A Rightful Judge and Ruler,
The King who is to be,
The Messiah that the prophets of old spoke of,
Including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Daniel, Hosea, Malachi, Zechariah,
Zephaniah, Haggai, Habbakuk,
And many more to come.

They were all great,
And He is the Lion
That is to come.

Justin Reamer
