Gift…
As I read the poem I wrote about God‘s Love… it reminds me of Easter
… God’s true love was his son, Jesus… who He knew had been born for redemption of our sins… What a burden He had to have had… to finish what He knew He had to do to get His people back in His grace… As that day approached… I know He had to be in agony… and when He heard His son asking, “Is there any other way?”
… He must have felt as if his heart was breaking… His will had to be done… He had to sacrifice such a precious being… But, as the day of resurrection
came after such a tormenting time… How ecstatic He must have been!… I remember my Salvation… Oh, what a burden was lifted as I felt the Spirit of God
come into my body… I couldn’t praise
Him enough… So if I get discouraged… if I get sad… if I get lonely… I draw on that Special Day… to keep me walking straight… to keep me smiling… to keep me having faith… I thank you Lord for that day!
… That you saw me as a special child of yours
… ready to return to You with Hope
again!
The Love that God has given-
Comes to us so free-
It will never be taken-
It’s for you, as well as me.
“He” loves us all-
Yellow, Black or White-
Whether big or small-
“His” love is just right!-
“He” came from above-
To set us all free-
With abundance of love-
“He” will always be!
Just open your heart-
Let “Him” come in-
“He’ll” never depart-
Always a friend!
“He’ll” stay by your side-
Lifting you high-
Even when pride-
Has made you cry!
God’s love is so dear-
You’ll feel it inside-
And it will keep-
Your arms opened wide!
For those who in need-
That you see every day-
You’ll be able to plead-
For them as you pray!
For forgiveness of sin–
For those that are lost-
Their hearts can mend-
Through the “One” on the cross!
Jesus… He’s the “One”-
Who died for our sins–
“He” said, “It’s done!”-
The love of God wins!
