Once Upon a Time

All things were perfect and there was no sin to be found It's His Glory we reflect but in His Love man's not bound He gave each their own free will to choose as they see fit And so today it is still, though so few are willing to admit And so Lucifer had arose once one of God's Highest Angels All being in what he chose for which there was no rhyme Nearly a third also departed heading right down to earth Setting havoc on every course charted, beginning at birth Mankind was a hopeless case sealing every single ones' fate Ah, but then a Father's Grace able to wipe clean our slate Sending His Only Begotten Son to pay for the entire price A battle only He could have won, for no other would suffice But now you have a choice for you can chose to go it alone Or as He has said You could Rejoice in all of His Glory shone Make not the devil's very mistake as he pulls you by his side The Name Jesus makes Him quake as for your sins, Jesus died

Fall from Grace was is an excellent poem Debbie and the theme is exact. Mankind will never get if the past is any indicator. And today, as much as we "progressed" there is no abatement to the suffering. God Bless, take care and have a great weekend!

I always pray God keeps me humble. Nothing is worth losing His Love. Though life can often test us, I only pray He keeps me close. May He keep you and all your Loved Ones close and Bless You as only our Lord can! Happy New Year Jo Daniel!
