Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

If Not For God Where Would I Be

If Not For God…   Where Would I Be?

If not for God…  Where would I be?
I’d be as lost as a ship 
wandering the sea.

If not for God…  And his amazing grace…
My life right now…  
Would be in a dangerous place!

If not for God…  I’d feel emptiness
 all around.
It would be as if everything 
“came crashing down.”

If not for God…  Being with me each day…
I’d be lost.  And stumbling 
to “find my way.”

If not for God…  Whose son bled and died…
Only sin and darkness in my life 
would be applied.

If not for God…  Who took away my sin.
I’d never know the joy
 of being born again!

If not for God…  I ‘d be alone.
And wouldn’t have his love in my home!

May this same God help you 
to clearly see…
How much he loves you.  
How much he loves me!

Won’t you give God a place 
in your heart?
So his power can give you
 a FRESH START?

God’s love, joy and mercy
 will astound you!
It wasn’t me…
  But HIM that found you!
