Until You Make the First Move

 

Today many are traveling the broad road of sin,
They seem not to know the condition they are in,
The Savior waits outside your heart with many Blessings in store,
But the latch is on the inside, you must open the door.

The road is narrow and straight to that Bright Happy Place,
The Bible plainly tells us that the price has been paid,
The Savior wants to guide you into that fair land,
But you must accept Him and take hold of His hand.

There's a story in the Bible about a rich fool,
He thought he had plenty with nothing to lose,
He said, "I'll fill up my barns, my soul can take it's ease,"
But that night his soul was called for, now whose things are these?

My friend, if you are trying to live your life all alone,
Even though you may have plenty of earth's treasures to own,
Just remember worldly treasures are not enough for you see,
You cannot buy Salvation, for Salvation is free.

It's a sad, sad story, but we know that it's true,
Many die without God and go meet their doom.
If you'll take one step toward Jesus, He'll take two steps to you,
But He cannot help you until you make the first move.

About the Poet
I am 86 years of age. My dear wife, Flonnie, whom I had been married to for 61 years and 9 months passed from this earth on February 24, 2008. Needless to say I have been lonely and sometimes in tears since that time. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior in September, 1953, and have tried my best to live as Jesus would have me live since that time. I don't know much about poetry but I try to express my feelings in the poems that I write. My wife loved cats just as I do and at this time I have 8 cats and I feed 1 stray cat. I don't know how I would have made it without my cats since Flonnie's passing.
