Freely Offered
by Barbara Philbrook

Freely offered to each and every man,
and known to us as the "Salvation Plan".

God is no respecter of persons, He loves us all,
and hopes we will answer when we hear His call.

In His great love He sees that all will hear,
and understand the gift offered there.

He explains it all in His Holy Word,
and beckons us each until we've heard.

But He will not force you, this is not His way.
We must accept on our own as we kneel and pray.

God allows all who have already accepted to take part.
He places the desire deep in our heart.

We feel the need to share the truth with another,
inviting each to become our brother.

We have an urge to reach all who would be lost,
to tell them Jesus died on the cross.

Reach out to those who haven't yet heard,
tell them they can see it in His Holy Word.

Freely offered and we get to share in the delight,
of seeing their expression as they too see the light.
