THIS TROUBLED WORLD

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
