Marcia's Poem of the Week 10-15-2021

“GOD'S CHOSEN”

 

2 Corinthians 6:1-2: 1 As God's partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it. 2 For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, the "right time" is now. Today is the day of salvation.”

 

“GOD'S CHOSEN”

 

“On the day of salvation, He helped you,”

“Indeed, the right time” is at hand,

There is a Savior to turn to,

Who holds the only redemption plan.

 

God chose and appointed you,

To bear the fruits* that will last,

Apply them to what you do,

And move forward from the past.

 

Christ became sin for you,

That reconciled you to Him,

You have become righteous too,

And totally clean of past sin.

 

God keeps you from the evil one,

Safe even in the world of hate,

For in this world, you're not alone,

But positioned near heaven's gate.

 

For He has made you right,

And as you shine bright over all,

Those in darkness will see His light,

And will hear the Savior's call.

 

So now is the time of God's favor,

And since the right moment has come,

Look to the Lord and Savior,

To share His fruits with everyone.
