Poem
The Gospel So many feel the gospel turns them away I hope you truly don't feel this way The opposite is true and that's a fact The gospel is here to bring us back Instead of feeling condemnation's sin Look at the love that abides within All have sinned even the very best There is none better than all the rest None of us has to die in sin's decay For God himself has revealed the way Our salvation is not based on what man can acquire The gospel, for who obey, is God's redeeming power It is God, His Son, and his great love for us Who only, in his grace, can make us just The sacrifice, death, burial, and resurrection true Has provided salvation for all, including me and you God gave his heart, His only begotten Son The Son gave his life, for it all to be done The Spirit calls our hearts to his saving grace So you and I can abide in that heavenly place Forgiveness is purchased by the shedding of blood Being only merited by God's great love What must I do to be saved was asked that day As the Philippian jailor fell on his knees to pray Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ came the answer sure Such wonderful words were heard for our sins the cure Turning to God from our sins: from pride to humility With faith in Jesus Christ who will save for all eternity So open that heart and ask him to save and to forgive And feel the burden lifted as His life in you is lived No one is excluded from God's mercy as others may say All who will be saved is included when one bows to pray To obey the gospel is to hear God's true and powerful voice Whether or not you listen and heed is your power of choice So, if you refuse God's love and his saving grace You've excluded yourself to enter hell's horrible place He suffered, he died, and he arose again to save our soul If we would repent and believe and let him make us whole He shed his blood, he paid the price - why would you condemn For if we reject his love and his way - how can we accuse him?
