Lost And Found

The decision of Adam and Eve affected all eternity

Sin entered the world, our enemies conspiracy claimed victory

The pride of life, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye

Made it certain that all mankind would die

Being our own gods and answering only to each other

Ignoring our creator and hiding under sins cover

God is always there and knows where we are

He is everywhere and sees sins ugly scar

But God had an answer for all we had done

He sent Christ His Son to take all our sin, even though He Himself had none

He loved us so He took all of our sins to the Cross

Then He died and paid our price, now our sins are forever lost

To all them who understand and believe

He took the penalty of death, now eternal life they will receive

The Word of God tells the truth of mankind’s fall

And the Word of truth tells the truth of Christ’s sacrifice then rising from the dead to regain paradise for us all

Read it, believe it, and don’t be left out

Then as God’s daughter or son claim your freedom and give Him a grateful shout

          Leaving and Arriving

I fought the good fight.  I have kept the faith.  I have finished the race.

I am now gone, raised to heaven up where I will see my savior’s face

While I lived I was a witness to His love and grace

I tried to follow His lead and let Him set my pace

His Holy Spirit was always there when I started to get off base

He helped prepare me in and out of season to make His case

When I left a place I could only hope that I left behind His Holy Trace

For I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my race

Now I see my savior face to face
