“FINAL WARNING!”
© 2002 Patricia L. Carpenter
Crucified in ‘weakness’ *
yet ‘strong’ in the Power of God, *
JESUS ~ our Lord & Savior
saved from the chastening rod!
He does not WANT to ‘punish’ *
His ‘Patience’ is slow to run out, *
Seeking for us to ‘repent & change' *
but instead ~ we sit & pout!
Thinking we have to ‘give up’ things
in order to serve our Lord,
Yet not realizing ~ HE’S MORE PRECIOUS
if we’d ‘bind to Him’ with strong cords!
Cords of ‘Love’ & ‘Mercy’
beyond our hopes & dreams,
For there is Life Eternal
if we wouldn’t ~ plot & scheme!
Trying to ‘win’ His favor
by ‘doing’ this & that,
Just simply ‘Love’ & ‘Trust’ Him
that’s where it’s REALLY at!
We’ll reach that ‘final warning’
one day ~ when it’s too late,
If we don’t HEED ~ today ~
& ‘Christ’s WILL’ ~ we do forsake!
“What is His WILL?” ~ you ask
come ~ ‘meditate’, my friend, *
Remember all His Goodness
& ‘seek Him’ till The End! *
