'My Heaven's Bank Account' Poem by Linda Winchell

I looked into my Heaven’s bank account
To see how much I had placed in.
But when I opened up the book
Nothing seemed to be entered in.

I thought I had invested something
At least… some of what I thought.
However it seems I had nothing at all
Nothing invested….all of it was lost.

Now what was I to use… I thought?
How would I enter in?
The gates of Heaven…the price is much
When Jesus died…. for all our worlds’ sin.

What didn’t I do…that I have nothing now?
In my Heaven’s savings book?
I thought I did all I could
But there was one thing… that it took.

To ask my Lord’s forgiveness
To go and spread His word to many.
And maybe… my Heaven’s bank account
Would have at least… a penny?
