GIFT OF GOD
by Lewis E. Thomas If I praised God without ceasing twenty four hours a day If I praised Him until I was very old and gray It would not be enough to pay Him back For saving my soul and that is a fact. If I praised God on every mountain around the world If I praised Him before every boy and girl It would not be enough to pay Jesus back For the stripes that He took upon His back. If I traveled every highway and proclaimed His name If I cried "Jesus" on every bus and train It would not be enough to pay Him back For that Bitter Cup He drank and that is a fact. If I preached to every human upon the earth And told them about His virgin birth It would not be enough to pay Him back For His death on the cross and that is a fact. If I labored endlessly to help the hurt and the lost If I led a billion souls to His cross It would not be enough to pay Jesus back For our sins that He bore as the sky turned black. If I praised Him until time was no more And finally stood with Him on Heaven's shore I could never have done enough to pay Him back That's why Salvation is a gift and that is a fact. Lewis E. Thomas as given by God on 4 / 9 / 99 Romans 6: 23 ... Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
