off in the distance as i sit there and ponder

in the presents of God, so full of wonder

I think of the many people I know, lost on a journey with no place to go. 

I tell them about Abraham, Solomon and Moses

Noah and David and Joshus and Joseph.

To read of His power, His mercy and grace

in the book called the Bible, so often misplaced.

Do you know of salvation, do you know of the door?

Do you know of His Son who died for us all?

They scourged Him and beat Him and was nailed to the cross

The price He did pay for those who are lost

For the wages of sin can only be death, But God does for His children what truly is best.

Do you know that the blood that His body did shed, provides for new life when your own body’s dead?

Is your name written down in the book of the Lamb?

Can you see where it’s written in the  palm of His hand?

It may sound confusing, there’s no trick to my words,

Though life after death may sound so absurd

The life that I speak of, the gift of salvation,

Available to all, His entire creation.

So how can one, who has gossiped and lied,

and stolen and mocked and had so much pride,

who worshiped false idols and welcomed a fight,

who thought they were better with their power and might,

who hated and envied and cheated on others,

who betrayed and lost honor for father and mother

How then can one, who has done this and more,

deserve such a gift from the one who’s called Lord?

Can one truly be worthy?

What must one do?

tell me now, tell me, I beg of you.

The Lord is not willing that any should perish

The gift of new life, He wants you to cherish.

There’s nothing to buy,

no work to be done,

Everlasting life is a gift from the Son.

Just open your heart and receive Him as King

Repent of your sins and repent from within. 

Accept Him now for the price has been paid

For those to Him come will surly be saved.
