"FEEL ~WORTHLESS~?"
© 2002 Patricia L. Carpenter
Do you think that you're worthless
~child~ remember that you're NOT,
For Jesus shed His Precious Blood
& with that ~Blood~ you were bought! *
How 'valuable' you are to Him
that He'd ~pay~ such a price,
Yes ~The Lamb of God~
has ~paid~ THE Sacrifice!
Remember this ~always~ my friend
& 'meditate' on His Word,
For He has covered you with ~Salvation~ *
& ~chosen~ you to be heard. *
He's ~listening~ now to every word
that you PRAY to Him, *
No greater LOVE for mortal man
Who'd ~FREE us~ of our sin!
Rare Jewels could ~never~ pay
that price that ~must~ be paid,
All ~our~ sins He bore for us
as on that Cross He laid.
Every ~nail~ that was driven
every SCAR that He did bear,
He thought that you ~were~ Worth It
& that is Beauty ~rare~.
Rare beauty seen in ~LOVE~
for those who are so unlovely,
As ~born in sin~ are we
& never walking very carefully.
Allow God's Love to ~change~ you
& the way we look at 'ourselves',
For if we don't think we're ~chosen~
we'll remain on those shelves!
Beautiful ~dishes~ gone to waste *
gathering dust ~ just sitting there,
Oh, become ~USABLE~ my friend
& become ~ a 'beauty' rare!
Let JESUS shine through you
as you reach out to others,
Lift high His Royal Banner, friend
& make of them your ~brothers~.
~Brothers in Christ~our Savior
~united~ in our Faith,
Joining hands around the World
till we reach those Pearly Gates,
Then we can cast our crowns *
down at Jesus' Feet,
Because ~without Him~ we'd NOT be there
& each other ~ would never meet.
