The world is in such a bad state now that I believe we are in the end times, and how important it is for we who are believers in Christ to encourage those who do not know Him to come to Him. I share these poems with the hope that they may do this.
I look around the world and see
whole nations in distress
growing camps of refugees
full of hopelessness
I used to think that this was fate
the way we all must die
because the world was full of hate
but this was Satan's lie
The words 'Forgive them Father
for they know not what they do'
came to my ears when I was lost
and you can hear them too
Just turn your eyes to Jesus
Who hung there on that tree
He took the shame and torture
to save both you and me
I wrote the following poem to echo what Jesus has done for all of mankind, and why He came to earth.
My Name is Jesus
My name is Jesus - I came to earth
to tell mankind of second birth
to tell of grace abounding free
to all who put their trust in me
My name is Jesus, I came to save
to lift the weary from death's grave
to grant forgiveness for their sin
to all who would but let me in
My name is Jesus - I came with love
the kind that comes from God above
a love eternal... tested, tried
for I am the One they crucified
My name is Jesus, I came with power
to save you in this final hour
I bring salvation.... don't refuse
It's life or death - which will you choose.
For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through Him.
John ch. 8 v. 17
