'Day By Day' (April 9, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Many people, day by day,

Are coming to the Lord.                                   Acts 16:31; John 14:6
Some of them had never heard
The message of His Word.                        John 3:16-18

Are we too busy now to preach

Salvation to the lost?
So many dying, day by day,
So we, at any cost,

Must preach the word, 'til all have heard;           Mark 16:15

They need to understand
That Jesus paid for their salvation
At His fierce haters' hand.                               Isaiah 53:5-6

Why must we wait 'til it's too late

To save some from that fall?                                Jude 22, 23
Let's tell them Jesus died for them:
Yes, Jesus paid it all.

I want the rankest atheist

To hear the word of life,
That they may be delivered from
Their days of sin and strife.

Secular humanists, as well,

To come and live with me
In that new heaven and new earth              Revelation 21:1-7
In God's eternity.

And scientists, who have been misled,

Deluded by their schemes,
Who say of God, 'It can'tbe so',
I'll shatter all their dreams,

And tell them that eternal science

Is all there'll ever be,
Except the time the universe
Was here for all to see.

For Infinite Science doth reign,

And when the earth is gone,
And also, this great universe,
Our souls shall linger on

Within that great eternal region

From which all this came.
Away with all your theories:
Just believe in Jesus' name.

In that great sphere, 'eternity',

All things shall be made known.
The things I write, and speak, and think,
Are not things of my own;

The word of God, the Christian Bible,

Speaks of all those things.
And I but write the truths of God,
As to my mind God brings

The principle of love for all

Who will receive His Son;                       Romans 5:8
And in the end, my doubtful friend,
His work shall all be done.                     Revelation 20:10-15

And many will then go to God,

Much more will go to hell:                   Daniel 12:2
That everlasting lake of fire,
Which they will know so well;

For in that fire, their firm desire,

Is just that they could die.
But that can't be, in eternity,
For not a second goes by.

To die would take a little time,

Eternity has none.
You must then come to God on earth,
Believing in His Son.

So, when this earth shall pass away,            II Peter 3:10-13

And this great universe,
We'll each be found where we are bound,
For 'better', or for 'worse'.

There then shall be no 'natural',

But just 'Infinity'.
In the place we'll evermore exist
In that eternity.

Make up your mind, while you may find

That God of all creation.
Give Him your heart, make that new start,
Receive His free salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-10:
 8) "For by grace ( only through Christ) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God:
 9) "Not of (the) works (performance of the flesh), lest any man should boast.
10) "For we are HIS workmanship, created (re-created, born again, a 'new man') in Christ Jesus unto 'good' works (through faith, which worketh by love: Galatians 5:6b), which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
