"GOD 'RESCUED' ME!"
© 2002 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 8}
{Taken from my Poem Book #8 entitled ~
"COME & DINE ~ THE MASTER CALLETH!"}
God 'rescued' me ~
from sin & sorrow ~

raising me from the grave,
To live in Heaven ~
that GREAT tomorrow ~

yes, my Soul He saved!
He 'rescued' me ~
from shame & grief ~

& all of my despair,
'Rescuing' me ~
from that great 'thief' ~ *

& my burdens ~ CHRIST did bear!
JESUS bore that awful Cross ~
when He hung there ~

just for me,
Now I proudly ~
His Name 'wear' ~

as I shout with glee!
JOY unspeakable ~ *
& full of GLORY ~

ready to follow CHRIST,
Ever telling ~
'Redemptions' Story ~ *

the rest of my life!
Fill my heart ~
with 'PRAISES' for Him ~

spreading JOY throughout this World,
Reaching out to ~
the 'lost & dying' ~

as Satan's plans were greatly foiled!
Trying to ~
'deceive' me ~

in every way he could,
But my Precious Savior ~
'RESCUED' me ~

as He said He would! *
For God so ~
'LOVED' the World ~

& all that He created,
Never wanting ~ *
'any' to perish ~

but ~with JOY~ anticipated!
'Anxious' to ~
'SHARE' His Love ~

with ALL who'd 'love Him back',
He even made ~
The BOOK OF LIFE ~ *

so He could keep track!
Is YOUR name in ~
that 'Book of Life' ~

you'd better believe it is,
But don't let it ~
be 'erased' ~ *

by NOT choosing HIS:
The King of Kings ~ *
& Lord of Lords ~

JESUS CHRIST ~ God's Son,
Yes, you MUST ~
'Believe' & 'Love' ~ *

that Precious Holy One!
'Believe' He died ~
just for you ~

then Love Him with ALL your heart,
Letting Him 'help' you to get ready ~
as ~from Him~ you n'ere ~

want to depart!
Serving Him 'gladly' ~
by helping 'others' ~

He places you around,
Standing on ~
the Solid Rock ~

& on Holy ground.
Bowing down before Him
'humbling' your heart & Soul,
Yielding ALL you are & have
TOTALLY to God's Control.
There is 'no other way' to live
& be filled with 'Joy' & 'Peace',
Than to give yourself COMPLETELY
& experience SWEET release!
Jesus IS my ~
Lord & Master ~

my 'Soon Coming' King,
One Day 'living' ~
in the ~forever after~

that is why I can really sing!
'Singing' down in that Valley *
~The Valley of 'Troubles' ~ galore,
'Rejoicing' & 'Praising' Him every day
as He has GREAT THINGS in store!
Great things in store for His people
who LOVE Him ~ forevermore!
Check out your heart TODAY
to see if you LOVE Christ,
Then never fear what lies ahead
as He will GUIDE your Life!
If you find that your heart ~
has grown cold & hard ~

SURRENDER ~TODAY~ to JESUS,
He will ~
'accept' you back again ~


as He said: He'd never leave us! *
It is we ~
who leave Him far behind ~

deserted & dry & sad,
Oh, COME ~ TODAY ~
& with Him ~STAY~

& really make Him GLAD! *
