When Another Soul is Saved

Nancie    Norton
It's a win, win situation
And in Heaven there's a celebration

When another soul is saved
From becoming satan's slave

Christ died upon the cross
To save lives from being eternally lost

satan enslaves us in a life of sin
Telling us, that we can never be clean again

But satan, leaves a few things out
There are truths,he'd rather you not know about

Like, how Christ our Savior died for us
And how he took that beating, without a fuss

He could have begged saying, "Father let me live"
But instead, he took it and said, "Father forgive"

Christ died on that cross, for us, so we...
Could be cleansed by his blood,to set our souls free

Free, from satan's imprisoning hold
Free from his mind and body control

Like a newborn babe, starting anew
God wipes the slate clean, for me and you

He gives assurance,that no matter what we've done
It won't be held against us if we accept his son

Invite him into your heart,and turn away from sin
Your life will be better, than it has ever been!!!

    Nance, the more I read your poems the more it makes me think that there are many things I need to change, there are many things I need to do, and many things I need to say. The first is getting back on the right track with GOD and his teachings. Every day I say, I need to do this or that and then don't follow through. Well, I wasn't raised that way as you know--so it's time to get my act back in gear!!! Thanks, sis, for the uplifting words you deliver time and again. GOD lets his light shine through others so that he can reach many!!! Hope everything is all right with Desty tell her we are praying for her and to be careful. I love you. Your big sis

    Well, Nancie, you have a D.L. Moody sermon in this poem! You said everything anyone needs to know. You know, the only place our past stays alive is in OUR OWN MINDS. It's like when we bring it up again and ask God, once again, for forgiveness, He says, "Huh?" (I realize He's more articulate than that, but the thought of Him saying "Huh?" just makes the point. He doesn't remember them! Isn't that wonderful?
