As long as there is sin to tempt the heart,
The sin that reflects our humanness – our world,
There will be dark thoughts, evil and destruction
There will be greed, lust and prejudice…
All those things that came to all of us, long ago
When Adam and Eve allowed the serpent to fool them…
As long as there is a world who refuses to seek
The very One who created us and the world He made for us
We will never see the wonder that comes to those
Who know He is the only way, the only chance, the only grace
Worthy of our faith, the believing that prepares our way
So that we can assuredly say – Jesus is the light, shining
Bright in the soul who believes in His gift of salvation
As long as there is doubt that destroys the believer’s ministry
As long as there is suspicion bringing bitterness and resentment
As long as there is distrust that silences the hope and faith
As long as there is a shame that refuses to ask for forgiveness
As long as there is fear that won’t allow us to chance believing
As long as there is a devil, the one who fell from heaven…
There will be those things that only Jesus and His gift of grace
Can possibly extinguish…
As long as there is His love – there is hope for eternity
With the One who makes a way where no way was known.
Despite the worst that comes, with Jesus – there is more
Grace, love, faith, hope, peace, joy – than we can ever imagine
Just KEEP BELIEVING
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (KJV)
