Man's Corruption. God's Redemption
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Man's Corruption...  God's Redemption!

The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption.
That's why God has offered us, his redemption!

The heart is desperately wicked above all things.
There's an evil corruption that sin brings!

The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways.
He watches our lives, all of our days!

There's nothing good in ourselves.
Not now, or ever!
Without God's mercy...
We're doomed forever!


But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan!
He made this available to every woman and man!


His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear!
The coming of Jesus Christ,

 draws ever so near!

We can trade our sinful corruption,

for a new way of living!
Won't you come before the Lord,
with a heart of giving?

Giving our life to Jesus,

 is the best thing to do!
By his power and grace, you can be
made BRAND NEW!

I'm thankful for his salvation! 
 Mercy has been applied!
Because of HIS death on the cross…
I'm now sanctified!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
