Reflections of Church Bells


“How much longer can this carry on?
I feel as if all strength is gone
From in my soul, there is no song
I only wish I could belong
But in my mind I know I can’t
For wrongs I’ve done, how could God grant
Forgiveness for one like me?

Lord, can you hear my plea?”

And in the distance a church bell rang
And there within the people sang
As to the Lord a sinner came
With all his sorrows, guilt, and shame
And laid them at His feet…

And there was made complete

Love as patient, Love as kind,
And Love as never one should find
If one should listen to their mind
And not find Love within

A Love that frees from sin…

I know for I was him.

God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

Fantastic, Bob!  So unworthy we are of His gracious forgiveness and unconditional love.

Beautiful Bob beautiful, words cannot describe how much I loved it. One day I will learn to cast away my fears and put all my trust in Him.
