Lionhearted and Lamblike

At once a Lion…

with one swipe of a sharp claw

the promise of Heaven’s fury upon sin

was wide open torn;

And a Lamb…

with a mere lifting of one wooly chin

Salvation’s neck became vulnerable

to the world’s knife.

Strong and meek,

tough and tender,

fierce and humble,

bold and brokenhearted,

lionhearted and lamblike,

Jesus showed all how to be…

men, that’s you and me.*

Revelation 5:5-6
