God’s Poem

“Grace, so freely given”

Amazing grace so freely given, the things we do are not within Him.

How sweet it is for all who know that our Father in Heaven, loves us so.

The sound of His voice so soft yet profound, it’s at His feet were we will be found.

That every knee in His presence be bent, for mercy and forgiveness is why He was sent.

Saved and freed from the bondage of sin, with Christ in your life you will always win.

A wretch , a thief or someone in prison, there’s no one on earth who can’t be forgiven.

Like me ; cry out, repent and have faith in the Lord and a place in Heaven shall be your reward.

By, Tina Shinn

 

I wrote this poem about two months ago, I was taking my dog for a walk one evening, it was dark out already. As I passed by my neighbor’s house (they are also a Christian family) I noticed they were getting ready to sit down for dinner (they have a large window in front were the dining table sits). So, on our way back, I glanced over and saw one of the most heart warming, beautiful, awe inspiring moments in life. It was as if I was looking at a Norman Rockwell painting that had come to life. There, together as a family (Mom, Dad and three Sons), heads bowed, hands clasped in a prayer position and praying to our Lord God. It made me cry, it gave me hope when I really was needing it. It made me feel like I wasn’t all alone in this sometimes crazy world of ours. After bowing my head and saying a prayer for their family, the song Amazing Grace came into my mind and I thought about the words. They are both beautiful and true. And that’s when I was inspired to write my poem. You never know who’s watching you at any given time, you never know who you will inspire (or let down, God included) so be the best you can be everyday, let God’s grace abound in your life and let God be the director in your life. God Bless you all.. **Love, your Sister in Christ Jesus, Tina Shinn **
