enter heaven

when the time comes if God was to ask
to give a reason why i should enter heaven ?

father i do not deserve anything
i have made many mistakes
and my heart aches with deep regret
but there is one thing i will never forget
Jesus came to set us free
he gave his life so i can be reconsiled to thee
only by your love and Grace
may i enter your heavenly place
not by my own works but only through your son
that i can be forgiven and a new life begun
Jesus died and rose for me
so i can be reunited with thee. Amen

I believe it is true
for it is written Amen 
only by his Grace 
and his gift of faith.
one day we will see his face
i am forgiven
for he died and  has risen   Amen

if you believe you and your household will be saved Amen

Deep, prayerful write, Diane. In my view, going beyond tradition, we would do well to explore who sins, in fact, what is sin, who is the doer who errs and how may the ‘sinner’s’ direction be corrected.
