He Walked into the Room He walked into the room and stood before us all This man with the piercing eyes, standing so tall He opened the Book and turned the page He began to speak, people listened from evey age Do you know where you will face eternity, he asked People shuffled feet and hid behind their masks Can you say, “I know I will go to heaven when I die” Or is it your good works on which you rely Perhaps you think, “I go to Church every week” Is it not my voice the Choir director doth seek I’ve been a Church member since I was a child I’ve lived a good life, and never once was I wild My parents helped to establish this Church My uncle built and designed the pulpit from birch Aunt Susie made the curtains for the ladies’ room That cross on the wall is a family heirloom If you have similar thoughts of each and every merit You think because of this, heaven you will inherit Think again my friend, it will never be enough All our works are just so much fluff Salvation is free, but it didn’t come cheap Jesus, God's Son, died; Mary, in grief, did weep He paid the price for sin for you and me From sin’s consequences, we can be set free You can choose to receive this wonderful gift Or reject, and out into a Godless eternity drift You can choose to walk through heaven’s doors Or you can reject, and live in torment forevermore Written by, Wanda L.

Joyce; Yes, our salvation is certainly not based upon good works. We are blessed that it is a free gift, but it was extremely expensive for our Lord. Thank you for your reply to this poem. Wanda |
