A fellow poet asked me this,
As if he'd never lived,
To feel love's touch and heartfelt bliss,
To call it God's great gift...
Yet did not God create us all,
The fabric of our form,
With Adam as His miracle
And Eve to keep him warm?
Because of Man's philosophy,
God had forgiveness planned,
That's been explained by Calvary,
So that we'd understand...
Lord Jesus said, be born again,
From Heaven's grace receive,
Like Pentecost, for thousands then
Repented to believe...
Saint Paul learnt, too, God's ways are best,
He preached to save the lost,
The truth alone helped each be blessed,
For Jesus paid the cost...
This life is full of questions, friend,
I told my poet pal,
Where do we go when life must end?
Each dies... In truth, we shall...
In time, he prayed the Sinner's Prayer,
In time, he was baptised,
His life has changed beyond compare
And all because of Christ...
Man's wisdom comes, Man's wisdom goes,
Lord Jesus stays the same
And blessed is he who in faith grows
And loves to praise His Name...
