Thanks For the Gift and the Giver
Wow, what a gift* so well-presented
Making me absolutely elated
Opening with glee I’m now prompted
With excitement, cheerfully spirited!
Such gift is truly blessing-laden
Lifting away my heavy burden
For its message says I’m fully forgiven
That assures me peace, and abode in heaven!
Thanks for the gift with eternal guaranty
No one can pay its priceless certainty
Since it costs the life of a deity
Who sacrificed Himself for humanity.
I cherish that gift of life’s fullness
Packed with the Giver’s love and faithfulness
May He find me showing my thankfulness
Along my joy to share it with willingness!
*James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Dear God,
Thanks for Your gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Saviour and Lord. Today, I accept Your gift of grace, as I put my faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross, was buried and rose again to pay for the penalty of my sins. Please forgive my sins, while I repent, believing that only You can assure me of heaven. I thank and praise You so much.
