God’s Love, Mercy, And Saving Grace

God Almighty, through The Word, created everything, it’s true
And They have a Special Bond, with Men and Women, me and YOU
YOU were created, to be in God’s Immediate Presence
I can say these words, with the utmost and sincere confidence
Sadly, sin entered the World, and threatened to wipe this bond out
So, God’s Mercy and Saving Grace, is what We shall talk about
The Holy Bible gives Us examples of Man’s Rebellion
God Almighty could have washed His Hands of Us, and said, I’m done
Therefore, God Almighty could have destroyed the World, completely
Ridding Himself of the headaches caused by People, YOU and me
But God so Loved the World, that He gave His Only Son, Jesus
The Debt Payer, Sin Bondage Destroyer, The Word, Christ Jesus
Promise Fulfiller, Messiah Incarnate, The Christ to Come
Jesus resolved the issue, created by Eve and Adam
I’m sure, The Bible gives Us, just a taste of Man’s Rebellion
So, how many would YOU endure, before saying, YOU were done
Redemption, from The Crucifixion to The Resurrection
God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through His Free Gift of Salvation
Jesus Christ came to this World, in the form of a mortal man
To Save Us, from the bondage of Our sin, His Ultimate Plan
God demands, a Blood Sacrifice, for the Remission of sin
Jesus Christ, lived His mortal life, without committing a sin
Therefore, Jesus was The Perfect Unblemished Lamb Sacrifice
Read those words carefully, so I don’t have to repeat them twice
Jesus’ death, upon The Cross, paid that Debt in full, Once for All
Now, One Man’s death, doesn’t seem insignificant after all
Then God raised Jesus Christ, from the grave, Alive, after three days
Was there rejoicing, in the streets, singing God Almighty’s praise
Not so fast, even His Disciples, were scared at His Return
Even though Christ had told them, before hand, about this Return
Besides Christ’s Followers, no one rejoiced, that He is Alive
But All of Heaven did rejoice, that Jesus Christ is Alive
After forty days, Christ ascended, into Heaven, Alive
Today, Christ sits at The Right Hand of God Almighty, Alive
And All of this transpired, so that We may make a Life Choice
Even if We don’t choose God’s Free Gift, We still have made a choice
Accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, see God’s Mercy and Grace
With the guarantee of meeting God Almighty, Face-to-Face
God Almighty will forgive and forget, the sins We commit
But to God Almighty, your Life, YOU wholeheartedly commit
YOU were created, to be in God’s Immediate Presence
So will YOU commit your Life, to God, with sincere confidence
Jesus will abide in YOU, YOU will abide in Him, as well
Your Testimony of Jesus Christ, is what you’ll share and tell
YOU may have wondered, about God’s Love, Mercy, and Saving Grace
And YOU may yearn to meet, both God and Jesus Christ, Face-to-Face
God and Jesus Christ, Love YOU, far beyond your comprehension
An All Encompassing Love, more than enough for Everyone

What About Jesus

When We read The Bible, what do We learn about Jesus
That He was Sent for The Salvation of All of Us
He taught Us by His actions, and by His Parables too
Now the sharing of His News, is up to both me and YOU

Jesus helped people, asking for their Faith and nothing more
This is The Key to Open Life’s Most Important Door
For by Faith We Believe Christ Died and Rose after three days
Faith is the very reason, that each one of Us prays

Jesus told them up front, He was here for The Sinner
To Teach Us how to become, an Eternity Winner
He told Us of what would happen, if We chose unwisely
How We would be Condemned, to Hell, for All Eternity

But Jesus wants All of Us, to Rejoice in Heaven
That God can and will Forgive Us, for All of Our Sin
One day We will stand before Him, yes meet Him face-to-face
On Judgment Day, at the proper time in The Chosen Place

We are to Love God with All Our heart, mind, body, and Soul
Follow His Statutes and Commandments, for He is in Control
Read your Bible and learn everything, YOU truly need to know
Don’t just take my word for it, Let His Words Tell YOU So

I Am The True Vine

I am The True Vine, My Father is The Vinedresser, and YOU are the branches
He who does not abide in Me, is thrown away and burned like withered branches
Every branch in Me that does not bear Fruit, He takes away
Every branch that does bear Fruit He Prunes, that it may bear more Fruit His Way
Already YOU are clean, because of the Word that I have spoken to YOU
As the branch cannot bear Fruit itself, unless it abides in the Vine, neither can YOU
If YOU abide in Me, and My Words abide in YOU
Ask whatever YOU wish, and it will be done for YOU
If YOU keep My Commandments, YOU will abide in My Love
Just as I have kept My Father’s Commandments and abide in His Love
These things I have spoken to YOU, that My Joy may be in YOU
This is My Commandment, that YOU Love one another as I have Loved YOU
Greater Love has no Man than this, that a Man lay down His Life for His Friends
No longer do I call YOU servants, but I have called YOU My Friends
YOU are My Friends, if YOU do what I Command YOU
For all that I have heard from My Father, I have made known to YOU
That YOU should go and bear Fruit, and that your Fruit should abide
As the Father has Loved Me, so have I Loved YOU, in My Love, abide
YOU did not choose Me, but I chose YOU and appointed YOU
So that whatever YOU ask the Father in My Name, He may give it to YOU
By this My Father is Glorified, and so YOU prove to be My Disciples
These things I Command, that YOU Love one another and be My Disciples

WHEN YOU FALL DOWN, JESUS PICKS YOU UP

Does Life seem to difficult, to just wake up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Does it seem easier to sleep after sun-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Is your Life in a tailspin, ready to crackup
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Do you feel like you are always playing catch-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Have you come to the point, where you just give up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

If you said, “yes” to any question, please listen-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

It is time to assess your purpose in Life, close-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

It is time for your latest Spiritual check-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Return to His path, not at a walk but a gallop
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Give Jesus a big hug, and you two make up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

He will take your hand, and help you back up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

Now Jesus will fill your heart, your very Life Cup
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

The sun will be brighter, with a Spiritual tune-up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

I thought it was time, for me to subtly speak up
When you fall down, Jesus picks you up

It is time for me to go, this was just the warm-up
When you fall down, JESUS picks YOU up

A Conversation

Hey, let me ask YOU, how are things going in your Life today
Is everything working, like a well oiled machine each day
Oh my, I’m so sorry for the trials YOU are going through
May I ask, is your family surrounding, and helping YOU
Also, can YOU feel their Love, embracing, and comforting YOU
Are they providing counsel, guidance, and alternatives, too
Do YOU find yourself wondering, does anyone have my back
Is there something I’m missing, is there some connection I lack
Well then, may I ask YOU, do YOU have Jesus Christ, in your Life
And is God Almighty, the first priority in your Life
Oh, YOU don’t believe in God Almighty, or in Jesus Christ
So, YOU don’t acknowledge God, or what Jesus Christ sacrificed
May I ask, have YOU ever felt someone tugging on your heart
Truly begging for your attention, YOU have, well that’s a start
Have YOU ever felt, as though someone is watching out for YOU
No matter how far off your path YOU step, He keeps nudging YOU
Did YOU know God Almighty, continuously pursues YOU
To take part in your Life, He unconditionally Loves YOU
So much so, His Only Son, Jesus, died to pay your sin debt
If YOU don’t know Them, then I believe, it’s time YOU four met
What’s that, Oh, what do I mean by four, well, let me explain it
God Almighty, The Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit
Each of Them, will work in your Life, to carefully nurture YOU
Remember, it’s all about God Almighty, not about YOU
Jesus died upon The Cross, He did this willfully, for YOU
And God Almighty raised Him from the grave, yes, again for YOU
Jesus ascended into Heaven, once more, this was for YOU
Then Jesus sent The Holy Spirit, to guide and counsel YOU
YOU were created, to be in God’s Immediate Presence
I can say these words, with the utmost and sincere confidence
God wants YOU to know His Love, to feel Him overwhelming YOU
The Father has such great plans, designed specifically for YOU
How do I know this, YOU ask, how can I truly be certain
Well, because I have Faith, in God Almighty, and Christ, His Son
I have welcomed Them into my heart, and into my Life, too
Now, my dear friend, may I ask, with this knowledge, what will YOU do
Would YOU like to have the feeling, that Jesus Christ has your back
Yes, Love, guidance, and protection, these things YOU will never lack
Great, because this is the reason, we’ve been talking here tonight
Perhaps, YOU have ears to hear, blinders removed, giving YOU sight
YOU must admit, you’re a sinner, and don’t deserve forgiveness
But YOU ask God to forgive YOU, by The Blood of Christ Jesus
Jesus Christ, is God’s Son, God raised Jesus from the grave, for YOU
Jesus is Alive, and sits at The Right Hand of God, it’s true
So, YOU repent from your sin, and turn back to God Almighty
Welcome my Brother or Sister, in Christ, now you’re family
May Our God Bless YOU, in His Mighty Way, from this day forward
And may all your thoughts and questions, through Jesus Christ be answered
