CHRISTIAN POEMS

The Spirit came in childhood,

And pleaded, "Let me in."

But oh, the door was bolted,

By thoughtlessness and sin.

"I am too young." the child replied,

"I will not yield today,

There's enough time tomorrow,"

The Spirit went away.

Again He came and pleaded,

In youth's bright happy hour,

He came, but heard no answer,

For, lured by Satan's power

And saying, "Not to day,

Nor till I've tried earth's pleasure."

The Spirit went away.

Again He called in mercy,

In manhood's vigorous prime.

But still He found no welcome,

The merchant had no time.

No time for true repentance,

No time to think or pray.

And so repulsed and saddened,

The Spirit went away.

Once more He called and waited,

The man was old and ill.

He scarcely heard the whisper,

His heart was cold and still.

"Go leave me and when I need thee,

I'll call for thee," he cried.

Then sinking on his pillow,

Without a hope he died!

But thanks be to God, that He has allowed us to have hope and salvation through His son, Jesus Christ.

All you need to do is ask God to forgive you of your sins and accept Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior.

I encourage anyone who has not taken this life changing step, to do so, before it is to late.
