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!
