The Saving Savior

I thank Jesus Christ our Lord,
That He has put His trust in me;
For He is beloved and adored,
And has given insight to see.

He has appointed me to write,
These poems and able to proclaim;
So some others can see the light,
By strengthening them through His name.

In the past I persecuted Him,
As I acted arrogantly;
Cursing Him had made me feel grim,
Living life so impatiently.

But I was treated with mercy,
Even though of my unbelief;
My mind had a controversy,
That was congested with much grief.

Our Lord was so kind to me,
He brought me to faith through His grace;
Giving me love that had to be,
As His arms gave a warm embrace.

Faithful is the saying to trust,
Which is worthy of acceptance;
Steering you away from your lust,
And building up your resistance.

For as the plan of God was unfurled,
So all of us could be winners;
Jesus Christ came into the world,
For saving all of the sinners.

I know since I am a sinner,
And do not deserve such treatment;
Fed to the lions for dinner,
On that final Day of Judgment.

But I was treated with mercy,
So that I could be used by Christ;
Because of having an urgency,
That others stop being enticed.

Worship and glory forever,
Onto our eternal king;
Our bond that will not sever,
Honoring for all He did bring.
