This is a rewrite of SIMPLY BELIEVE from my 2007 book, TRAIL'S END POETRY. Today, I look at the 86 pages of poetry I wrote back then and am horrified by how poor a poet I was. I pray that God has brought me full circle and that I now write well enough for people to read and enjoy.
God made it so plain and simple
So that we could all understand
"Believe that Christ is your Savior
And always love your fellow man"
He sent His Son to take away
All the sins that we've committed
In the court of Almighty God
We'll find that we've been acquitted
So, why does a man judge a man
Interpreting what God had said
It's been told to us many times
Why can't we get it through our heads?
Christ said, "Come as you are to me
I will never turn you away
Tho' mortal man may reject you
By my side you may always stay"
So, don't count on the ways of men
For they may sometimes steer us wrong
Our only hope is with Jesus
With His help we're sure to stand strong
We will not find eternal peace
In man's constitution or creed
Let's put our faith in our Savior
For our salvation He did plead
We won't need another excuse
There's no need for another plea
It's sad enough that Jesus died
That He died for you and for me
It's good to know that Jesus saves
He'll put an end to fear and doubt
Though sinfully we come to Him
Our Lord will never cast us out
Yep, sinfully I will go to Him one day...I wonder, if I cannot forgive my own sins, how will He...I've always enjoyed your writing Paul, but it looks like, as they say all good things must end, I will be dropping my membership as the prices rise & such...take care of your little family, Paul...u r a VERY lucky man...e
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
This is an outstanding write. One I wished I had done. It encourages ALL to come to Christ. There's not one man Jesus cannot save.
Love and Blessings,
