Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Sin of Unbelief

There was a time when I  disbelieved
in the true sense of what it's to believe
I knew not of the true living God
in this state, my soul could only grieve

But God was faithful never giving up
revealing himself in the person of His Son
this son of God is revealed in holy writ
the Lord Jesus Christ the saviour bar none

I thank God for the conviction of my sin
in my heart thinking what can I do?
the gospel which I never had heard
then in the mid-20s I heard this is true

This was such a revelation to receive
realising to not believe brings death
needing spiritual birth to truly believe
God is sovereign even to our very breath

Now for 37 years, I've followed Jesus
the one who loves me fully without measure
He went to Calvary's cross paid for my sins
setting me free to believe on my treasure

Jennifer Proxenos June 7, 2019 at 1:09 PM I am God fearing Gordon - He is omnipresent, omipotent, _God knows everything and has punished, first woman because of Eve, then saved only Noah and his family and some animals, drowned the unbelievers, Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah due to extreme sinfulness I could go on but restricted in space, so agree with the words in your poem - a faithful religious lesson for all to take heed! Hugs, Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell June 7, 2019 at 1:36 PM Thanks Jenny for your fine word of testimony and your agreement with all I did write. Have a blessed weekend,Gordon
