Love Divine

Eternal life is beyond earth's ties Freedom finds true meaning there Great love beams from the Savior's eyes How marvelous to know He cares. In my present state sin weighs me down Just knowing this brings heavy tears King of kings wore a thorny crown Lived to conquer death's dark fears. Making Christ a living sacrifice for all Not a wasted day was ever spent Overcomer, He negated the devil's call Pure and holy, He was heaven sent. Quiet confidence was ever His Resting in the Father's will Satisfied to know that from this True life was given, God's plan fulfilled. Written on 9/2/2016

If you are a church member, bless the congregation with this write at a time that seems fitting to you. It is lovely, a poetic sermon that brought the feel of our Savior to me. Thank you, Laura - that's always a good thing. Good luck in the contest and all else or perhaps I should close with Blessings, CayCay
