"GIFTS!"
© 1997 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book # 2}
When Jesus ascended into Heaven
many ‘gifts’ He gave, *
Even to those who once were rebels *
He their soul did save.
Oh, what a Glorious Lord we have
Who DAILY bears our burdens, *
Triumphant over sin & shame
aren’t you glad He hears them?
Now we can ‘fearlessly’
come before His Throne, *
Assured of His ‘glad’ welcome
because of Christ alone!
Christ is more ‘at home’ in us *
He will give us The Holy Spirit *
for what He has in store. *
Our ‘abilities’ are varied *
some have one & some have others,
But ALL of them are to be used
to encourage & help our brothers. *
Please don’t grieve The Holy Spirit
by the way you live, *
For He marks you to be present
on That Day when Jesus gives ~
ETERNAL LIFE~ to those who LOVE Him!
