Ask the Lord's Forgiveness

All the things we are on earth- And all the things we're not. All the times we've hurt our Lord, By word and deed and thought. All the days we've made Him sad, Through hateful acts of spite. We need step back a pace or two And make the bad things right. For heaven's not that far away- Could be . . just round the bend. And none of us can ever know The moment of our end. Be grateful for the blessings He's bestowed on you this while. Offer thanks by honoring Him, In ways that make Him smile. Ask for His forgiveness For the times you hurt Him so. Accept the blood He shed for you Before your time to go. Our days are but a platform, Where we stage the life to come. Thus all the joys of heaven Are not there for everyone. So bid the Lord come to your door And then invite Him in. Ask His grace as you confess To all your earthly sins. He will know what's in your heart And if you are sincere . . You'll have your place in Heaven And dispel death’s dread and fear.
