Be Surrendered To A Loving Saviour

All of us are in a wilderness
a maze that holds us down
but there's good news for you
there's one to take away your frown

Jesus Christ has come here for you
taking on our earthly frame to wear
even our sins He's put on His body
taking it to the cross to be laid bare

This Jesus died with all our sins
paid the price for salvation's cost
crying out to all to draw near
no matter your state as cold as frost

Jesus calls for your surrender
giving over to Christ's holy rule
bring yourself to His humble feet
proving that you're nobody's fool

Jesus is indeed a loving saviour
one indeed so loving and true
His love is wonderfully majestic
it's worth it to give Him all of you

Gordon, your amazing poem is an inspiring testament to faith! The imagery of the wilderness and the stark message of redemption is a powerful picture. The repeated emphasis on Jesus' love and sacrifice creates a strong call to action. I particularly appreciate the line "no matter your state as cold as frost," offering hope and inclusivity. Your poem serves as a beautiful reminder of the transformative power of surrendering to Christ. Nice little devotional for me today. Blessings, Daniel
