In a world on its own
Evil presides over right.
Without God on His thrown
Hearts live in darkness void of light.
Into sin we are born
Left to die in shame.
Our creator we scorn.
We are the ones to blame.
The dragon reigns supreme
Consuming whom he desires.
We fall prey to his scheme
Refusing to quench the fires.
All are condemned to die.
Our punishment is just and right.
We chose to believe a lie.
We have kept truth out of sight.
Where is the hope?
Where is the answer?
How do we cope?
What will heal this deadly cancer?
Is it in ourselves to free us
When we are the creators
Of this horrible mess?
Can we be lovers rather than haters?
Love is the answer we seek,
But it is not within our human
Capacity to become meek.
Only God can form a new man.
Jesus must set us free
From the slavery of sin.
Only then can we be.
Only then can we win.
Without him we are lost.
We are doomed to die alone.
It his he who paid our cost.
He deserves to be on our heart's throne.
Author notes
The truth of the Gospel presented in the form of a poem. It it's simplest terms
1) We have all disobeyed our creator
2) We are condemned to die because of disobedience
3) No good we do can be enough to pay the cost of our disobedience
4) We don't have within ourselves the ability to love unconditionally and live a sinless life
5) Jesus lived a sinless life and paid the penalty we owe for our disobedience.
6) Accept the freedom and forgiveness we are freely offered or remain condemned to die
7) Putting Jesus on the throne of our hearts gives us the ability to live in freedom from sin and to love unconditionally as he loves us unconditionally

well put ....
A good job of making the gospel truth clear in a poetic form. I prefer a simple style when writing about the Lord and you have done that. I also like rhyming poems and this one is pretty good. It is definately worth a read though I suspect there are many on here that wont like the message of it
God bless you my brother, Mark
