Sinner Or Saint

11 December 2010 Sinner or Saint ========== We all sin and we are sinners We are saints upon God’s Grace, the Giver The way of the cross, God and man entwine To err is human, to forgive divine Blind we are, and can’t see the truth Pretender wins the trust of youth A deaf to good news, unable to decline To err is human, to forgive divine Great mind leads us into the system Worldwide, the weak flow to its streams In the lowness of spirit, wrongful is enshrine To err is human, to forgive divine Saints we are, since purified, still a whiner For Jesus did not come for the righteous, but sinners We are sinners and saints and that shall remain To err is human, to forgive divine 7th place winner "To Err Is Human to Forgive Divine" Contest Sponsored by: Audrey Carey Contest Judged: 1/8/2011

Indeed, we are all sinners and Jesus would not have needed to sacrifice his earthly life to save a perfect people. A wonderful entry for Audrey's contest and I wish you success, Noel. And thanks for the Facebook invitation; I already thought of you as a friend. Peace and love, Carolyn

That warring inside of those two components is ruff at times..We have the flesh that is wanting its way and the Spirit gently nudging us to do what is right or righteous...Great presentation of this topic..I am glad that chose this on to read this afternoon..Your pressent at my work bless my Spirit..Sara
