A Talk With God

Flat on my face I took a great fall

It was then the Father came to call,

"Dear God," I cried "Why bother with me?"

"For you are my precious child you see!"



"But God, I've done so many bad things,"

"You need the joy only Jesus brings,

just ask Him now to come in your life

He'll wipe away your sorrow and strife!"


I bowed my head, said the sinners prayer,

looked up and Jesus was standing there.

"My child," he said "I forgive your sin,

you opened the door and let me in."

 

I fell to the ground and kissed His feet,

for I never thought that Him I'd meet.

I call upon him now ev'ry day,

for He is THE TRUTH, THE LIFE and THE WAY!

 

This world is full of chaos and pain,

but I've everlasting life to gain!

Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me,

to be with you for eternity~

 

Author notes

I had a conversation very much like this one with my savior many years ago. Hope this is okay. It was on my heart at the time written.

    This is a great write. I have massive respect for anyone who can put their faith on paper, and massive respect for anyone who can describe a personal experience. You have done both here, very well done! I particularly like how you have kept the tone of the poem light. friendly, and accessible using meter, rhyme and carefully chosen words.

    This is a very good write. God is the life and the way for all of us. This mirrors my life and can be related to by many I am sure. Good luck in the contest, The Shaker

    What a precious testimony. Like the song says "Just as I am..." there's nothing we can offer Him, but He takes our sin and clothes us in His righteousness. Hallelujah! The blood of Jesus paid the way for our salvation.
    Best wishes in the contest-couldn't have been said any better than the way it was~blessings, vj
