EXALTATION
Jesus once said, Be ye therefore perfect,
what a thing to say.
Yet through His atonement and death,
this can happen one day.
Though your sins be as scarlet, they will
be as white as snow,
If in true repentance and sorrow on your
knees you willingly go.
For then our beloved Saviours sacrifice
will really work,
If we strive all our days to be good and
never labours shirk.
If we always place God first through all
the things we do,
Fast and pray, study the scriptures daily,
pay tithes too,
Never speak a cruel word or do a mean
or thoughtless deed
Ask forgiveness everyday for there will
always be a need.
Think of the promise made to those who
endure all things well,
They will set by His throne one day and
in heaven dwell,
Our families by our side in sweet heavens
highest place,
Not because of the things we need to do, but
because of His grace.
One day because of Jesus great sacrifice
so very pure,
We will have the chance to progress and our
calling made sure,
A promise from a loving God who wants all
His children home.
And worship Him and share the joys of His
heavenly throne.
