A Gift of
Life
by
Barbara Philbrook
Jesus came
to this earth in order to make the payment for our sinful
behavior,
and in so doing he became our loving Savior.
Why you
ask did he do this amazing thing for people who are
guilty of sin,
the fact is there's a whole new world waiting for us but
we are not worthy to enter in.
You see
the price of sin is death never the new world to see,
but Jesus came and lived the sinless life and was
crucified to pay the price for you and me.
All we
have to do to receive the gift is to accept it there is
no price for us to pay,
just as of I held in my hand money and offered it to you
once you accepted it no longer in my hand would
it stay.
The gift
of eternal life is being offered to one and all,
won't you tell our Savior you accept his gift he's
anxiously awaiting your call.
Three days
after his death he rose from the dead and showed himself
to those who'd given him love, then as predestined he
went to be with his father above.
Why you
ask did this all come to pass in precisely this way,
look in your bible and see what the prophets of the old
testament had to say.
He's gone
to be with his father and building mansions in which
we'll all be able to live I'm told,
another fact which surprises me the streets there
are paved in gold.
Never
again in sorrow will a single teardrop by any of us be
shed,
there will be no pain for any of us to suffer joy and
happiness will fill our hearts instead.
Even the
newborn baby lamb will have nothing from the lion to
fear,
no they'll both lay lovingly in a field together only
tenderness to share.
Oh won't
you accept the gift Jesus is offering freely to you,
I have and I'd really be happy if when Jesus calls
us you were there too.
