T here is a kingdom, purchased by blood,
H aving been designed and purposed by God
E lect in it, from all nations flow,

C oming to Christ, as THE LORD it knows.
H aving heard the Gospel preached,
U nveiled on that great Penticost
R epent and be Baptized,was the message from heaven,
C laiming forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit given.
H appy are those who gladly comply,


O ur being born again, is accomplished thereby
F or then as His People, we can serve the Lord,


O nly being guided by the Truth of His Word.
U sed in His service as a Light to the world
R eaching out to the lost,Love's banner unfurled.


L iving a life of Example and Grace,
O rdered by the Lord, both Holy and Cahste
R edeemed and ready His will to obey,
D o You have part in His Kingdom today?

Thank you ALL for you,for being so receptive and kind in the variety of things I post in this forum. I am happy that we have this place where we can share our faith, our feelings, our insights, our talents, and our tears in such a loving, embracing environment.  God bless you all!

And to you Janet, thank you so much, I am
humbled by your kindness--I hope I'm not blushing too much,(for an old man,he he)
