The Invitation
On my second date with my new girl friend
She asked me to go to church with her one day.
I was taken back, but what the heck, where and when ?
Really, what else could I say ? ( I really liked her )
Before I met her I had been out to church before
So I understood it I thought,
But to be honest, the text was always a bore !
Was i someone to be taught ?
The people at the church were far too friendly
As if they knew me like forever
I could see they had a spirit of community
And cheerfulness beyond measure !
Born again, sins forgiven ,what was that about ?
The Father, Son, Holy Spirit were spoken here,
I was a person finding out.
The pastor with passion made it very clear.
This church walked the altar call line
Newest of life, friendship with God was evident here.
It was something I could never decline,
Imagine, my old past would disappear !
So dear reader, if you have read this, thus far,
Let God be your Savior today,
Don't be a wanderer, He will set your life's bar
Give Him the Final say !
