'Every Day' (April 15, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Every day, it's 'Out of bed,

Brush your teeth, toast your bread.
Fry some bacon and some eggs.
Wake up the kids, massage your legs.

Off to work, and off to school.'

Same routine: you know the rule!
Mix with people, eight to four;
That's how it's been each day before!.      Stop with the 'gloom, despair, and agony on me'!

But that's not what I'm thinking of!

I think of God, and His great love,
Which He bestowed upon His sons,            Note: 'sons' does not denote gender: (I John 3:1-3)
Because He loves us every one!

Those who believe, all know it's true,

God gave His Son for me and you.
And this we truly know quite well:
He saved our souls from a burning hell.

And sinners, God loves just as much,               Romans 5:8; John 3:16-18a

And wants to give that saving touch;
Our loving duty: Let them know                      II Corinthians 5:17-21
There is a God Who loves them so.

For we were lost. God sent someone                Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12

To let us know that God's own Son
Lived His whole life to make us free,            Matthew 5:17-18
And then He died upon that tree.

They mocked Him, spit upon His face,                        Isaiah 53:5-6

And scorned Him, though He brought them grace.        John 1:17
Rejected Him. They speared His side                        John 1:10-11; John 19:34
While His pure heart was open wide                             Luke 23:34

To then receive those believing few,

And millions more, both me, and you.                    
He will not turn a one away:                                  John 6:37
Will you believe in Him today?

Tomorrow, it may be too late.                             James 4:14

Believe Him now, don't hesitate.
Come, go with me to that Home above,
Where there's peace and joy, eternal love.

God shall make new earth and new heaven.       Revelation 21:1-7
We'll be there, all our sins forgiven
While on the earth, we found God's favor,              Acts 16:31
Now we'll live with God for ever.
