Amazing Grace

Daisy skirts Swinging in church Shouting "Hallelujah Amen" Feeling the Holy Ghost Doors open You repent. Frog in your throat The spirit took over. You fell to your knees. Tears formed and rolled down cheeks. Not anyone could believe the salvation they seen. The doves were released. Your life manifested them. "Amazing grace, how sweet thou are to save a wretch like me."

Oh, all the feeling. It was just like we were there with you. The soft tears clung to your face as you shouted for joy having Jesus in your life and in your every breath you took. Doves of peace flew so gently out of your hands. Salvation went through your very soul and body refreshing it and soothing it so very much. Rejoice and again I say rejoice to the great poem of yours that I have just read. Jim Horn

The steeple stands tall for all. Deep within the chambers of the heart is where salvation lye's. Those who search know the church of Jesus Christ. Peace. :)
