Save

I was challenged to write a poem about a statement that I made that even if I were the only sinner in the world Jesus would still have come to save just me. I hope you like it, and it lifts your spirit.

Each day when I see the sunrise And hear the sounds of life, I don�t know what the day will bring It may be filled with joy or strife. As I bow my head over breakfast And whisper a thankful prayer, I see the cross in my mind And remember how much God did care. His love for me is so perfect That even though I have sinned He sent his Son to die on a cross for me My failures his blood to rescind. As I pass through my day doing each of my chores One thing to me is perfectly clear. If I were the only sinner, He would have still sent his Son so dear Because just like a faithful Shepard Who searches the night for his one lost sheep, My heavenly Father would make any sacrifice needed Because his love for me runs that deep.

I enjoyed your write. I think your statement is theologically correct. Redemption and restoration are primary concepts to the Christian message. Luke records Jesus as saying that he himself came to seek and to save that which was lost... he placed no limits on the number.
