Gods Gift

A Poem by J Todd Underhill

"

Heavenly father I am thankful for what you gave me;

Sending your only son to die and save me.

I am truly unworthy of such a precious gift,

Laying down his life to mend this sinner’s rift.

 

Such amazing grace to save my wretched soul,

It is your love and guidance that I extol.

Wanting all your children to return home one day,

No matter how far it is they may stray.

 

I pray my thanks for your intervention;

World salvation was your kind intention.

This poet that was unforgiving and truly hateful,

Has softened a bit and become wholly grateful.

 

I remember you spoke to my poetic ears;

Strong enough to bring me to tears.

And by your gift I was and will be saved,

My name in the book of life engraved.
