It’s easy to fall thru the cracks,
Or have friends stab you in the back.
Or be cajoled into buying a lemon,
Or commit a crime to be summoned.
It’s easy to drive endangering others safety.
Or lay down and abort an unborn baby.
Who can be safe in this world of hurt,
when death lingers over timely births?
Yes, we can live in Christ’s eternal life
Jesus can end our temerarious strife.
God is not willing to crush your soul.
Yet, He saves a remnant—just a few.
Don’t be lost, but acknowledge God’s Son.
He shines in hearts glowing like the Sun.
A new beginning requires a new birth.
Only accept His Grace for salvation first,
And escape a hell-bound-sinner’s fate.
If you could eliminate sin by yourself,
Then His blood was wasted as rubbish.
Trusting Jesus rejects the self-righteous.
His Love isn’t grievous, but most precious!

I was drowning, and sinking in sin—
Regretting each one with deep chagrin
As I lived on, I couldn’t face the facts.
My morbid memory made me retract.
I felt remorse with tongue in cheek.
My grave clothes had really reeked.
So, I ran to Jesus to set me free—
Like a river runs rapid into the sea.
Like a wayward son to see Father God,
I relinquished my pride inside this bode.
My search for peace related to Christ;
My Kinsman redeemer paid the price.
Like an eternity going East to West,
His blood atoned with simple trust.
He’s mercy answered my crying plea.
Now all is forgiven in the forgetful Sea.
The beauty of Christ is living a new life.
For Believers who trust fully in Christ.
