May 8, 2007 - another poem

alright well after saying yesterday that i hadn't written anything lately, i wrote a poem last night... kinda off of the quote i posted yesterday...

here it is:

We’re not saved because we do things,
All of your efforts amount to none.
It’s only by His grace we are saved,
not because of anything we’ve done. 

Your efforts are vain, though, if you wish,
You can try and try all your life.
Working, toiling, searching for answers,
All it will bring is more trouble and strife.

 We’re saved only by His good grace,
And by His love He sent His Son.
He loved us, not for who we were,
But for what we would become. 

We do things because we are saved,
And we want to do the work of God.
Are you one of His children?
Have you been saved and cleansed by His blood?

 If so, then I’m sure of this:
You’ll want to tell others of Him.
Tell them of His love for us,
Tell them to repent of their sin. 

For that is our purpose,
The reason that we’re here;
To worship Him and tell others,
You can do it, don’t fear!

God will give you the strength
To do what He wills,
Just do what He says to,
Do what you feel. 

-Emma

CoOoOoOl poem! Britter loves Love Comes Softly! Say this out loud in a scary voice:

"YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE DEATHCRAWL IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO TO YOU!"

With my Louie on your back it won't be a problem at all. And I'm not gonna make you do it far anyway!Yes. And yes also you ARE quite blonde! Hope ya don't mind the fact. Deardearme. Though since Sarah and I have been on ya you are getting darker really. You'll probably never be black because you don't have brothers. They were invented to show you the other side of life. Seen my brain? If you do tell it to go home! Me
