Love of God, how can this be?
Sinner saved from sin! Set free?
Some still remains, the stain, the guilt.
May always be! The sand, the silt!
.
.
Prayer Christ taught, “Forgive today!
Trespasses that lead astray!”
He knows our weakness frame of mind.
One sinless person, hard to find!
.
.
Enoch walked with God, “And was not!”
God took him! Heaven was his lot!
Another prince, Moses, who died,
Remains not found on that mountainside.
.
.
Laid claim and nothing there revealed,
The book was closed and remains concealed!
Those two who left God closed the door,
Just two who left! We know no more!
.
.
His love still reaches down to me!
A sinner saved by grace, set free!
Unlike Moses, I will have to stay!
Until that everlasting day!
.
.
Sinless I am not! I have my faults!
Like, too much food, I love malts!
Despicable! This tendency!
Someday I will be forever free!
.
.
Glorified body will it require
Food to subsist? An earnest desire
To know but I am content
To wait to discover true Heaven-sent.
.
.
Faults are sins and my sins are faults!
And much more than my love for malts!
Then someday must I answer for
Precious Blood of Jesus, I adore!
.
.
The blood that washes out my sin,
I plead the blood! The plea within
My heart cries out, “Remember Me!”
Lost soul in heaven, found and free!
.
