Poem Title:
Poem
It was in church That I first discovered the meaning Beneath hope and faith, love and grace It was in church That I was first introduced To believing in the light who never fades It was in church That I first knew conviction that prepares The heart to repent and be saved by the Redeemer It was in church That I was first a part of the body of Christ, Where there is prayer and praise and promise Peace that never leaves the spirit without a chance To know the meaning of His abiding Presence It was in church That I first knew that God would never forsake me Because of His everlasting life, I’d be with Him forever It was in church That I found the way to hear from heaven And, it was in church that I found the reason For a joy that sincerely believes Him It was in church That I first realized I was needy And it was in church that I learned the best Gift is the gift of spiritual freedom From doubt, darkness, despair – all the things That the devil prepares to test God’s children… Thank God He protects and provides All the hope we will ever need, all the faith to believe The love that assures hearts He is everything and more… He is the promise of a heavenly home, the hope That forever will bring with it His everlasting love It was in church… Where I learned and discovered The meaning of a love that is everlasting The hope of a prayer, the assurance that He’s there… In the pew, at the alter – everywhere – It is HIS HOUSE! It is in church that He prepares us – To face a world that wants to silence us It is in church that He reminds us – We are His children, His light for the world It is in church that He fights for us – The ones He loves with the love of the SON, Who shines, reflecting the miracle of peace that prevents us… From listening to the world or the darkness, the sin that seeks To destroy our faith, darken our light, dim our smiles… It is in church that I found the simple hymn… Amazing GRACE I once was lost… but NOW – I have HIM… Amazing GRACE Forever, I will praise – because I’m eternally HIS!
