Love For All Times

In past, I was a sinner unworthy, Too unworthy to come before God's throne, But, praise God, now He has made me worthy, I am bought by Christ and am His alone. He has washed me snow-white with His own blood, His sinless blood shed for me on the cross, Through Him, by His grace, at present I'm led Right up to the Lord, my Father and boss. Again, in Christ, I have the blessed* hope, Bright hope of a divine future secure, No more in darkness do I need to grope, My future's booked up in heaven, I'm sure. Dear brother, sister, come to Jesus Christ, For your past, present, future, He'll suffice. -------------------------- 24.11.16
*Blessed - counted as 2 syllables
