Thanks to the Lord

God’s riches are free, unearned or deserved.
Man’s path in sin is crooked and swerved.
A conflict arises to boggle man’s mind,
Though God being Holy, Righteous, Divine,
He is also Merciful, Loving, and Kind.
This problem is of men by rebellion indeed,
Christ is the answer meeting man’s need,
Paying the penalty of debt that we owe,
Purchasing Heaven for men here below.
This gift is received by faith we are shown,
By trusting in Christ’s work and not our own.
This gift, eternal, is given to beggar from King,
The payment for which was not a light thing!
To finish this deal, to make of it done,
The Blood that was shed was that of God’s Son.
If this that I’ve said makes sense to do,
This day transfer your trust to God from you.
Let us tell God what you’ve just told me,
Giving Him thanks for setting you free.
