At the Door

A fierce battle ensues for the soul A Lion Roars, Lamb's Blood Stained Overcomer of death, His upper goal A Hope of life Offered and freely obtained Reaching out to the hopeless in dark iron chains Eternity's looming, But His arm's are stretched wide The Kingly true Lion, who for you, was slain another one prowling up from behind breath of death roars like' a lion and stealing wherewith destroyer of joy and dark is his breath Lion of Judah, Spring Forth now I pray Deliver the burdened slated as prey darkest cold shadows creep toward the door and the eerie cold chill seems to implore no hope and no use never more, never more for this is no battle, no, this is a war Yet Lion of Judah, You stand at the door and You knock it's Your will Those burdens You bore To deliver the broken From the dungeon's of war To give life and hope to the hopelessly lost You paid the ransom, though it, Your life cost Open the door to Life calling your name No coincidence He'll take all the Wounds, guilt and shame Open the door that leads To His gate Cry out to Him, "Jesus!" Before it's too late. Are you the prey Don't stay that way Jesus came to set you free It's simple as this... ABC There is no exact prayer you need to pray, but if you'd like to hear more about the 'how' to accept Jesus and to be saved, let me tell you, it is simple, and it is free. It is the free gift of God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. A: Admit that you are a sinner and in need of His salvation, and Ask Him to forgive you of all your sins. B: Believe He is the Son of God come to the earth, was born, lived a perfect life, died on the cross as an atonement for your sins, was placed in a tomb, and in three days rose again. C: Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, the Savior, the Son of God, your Savior and Lord, and you will be saved! He is the promised one who wants to save you and your loved ones. It is a free choice, and a free gift. We get to choose to accept His free gift or reject it, but I hope that this gift is accepted by you right now, and you don't wait. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 2 in the New King James Version (NKJV) "2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." If you would like to know more about being forgiven of your sins, and accepting the free gift of Salvation, please just google: The ABC's Of Salvation - Pastor JD Farag The gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Will be saved

Thank you so much Mark, I prayed a lot during the writing of this poem, it was heavy on my heart. The process reminded me of one of your poems I had read about the gestation of a poem. This one took the Father to help birth! I'm glad you liked it. I pray it is a fruitful poem.
