Written In Red (Poem)

I hold on to my faith, for a glorious better place I seek. I live each day for my Lord, and each day He gives me a little peak. I planted my knees on a floor one day and before I even started to pray, God said, my son, it's ok. I went through valleys so I could learn to be true, He set me on mountains, under sky's so blue. The day will come when I will see His face, Saved I am because of His amazing Grace. Just a rose will never do, it's the Lily I choose. Sitting with Him by the river of life, thoughts of joy consume my whole mind. For if it wasn't for the words in red, I wouldn't have been led. " if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" I wouldn't have received my seed. That day when it's here, I will live with no fear. I will walk through pearly gates with happy tears. God wipes all those away with words I hear Him say, you listened to what I said, you read the words in red.

This was written for my father in law, a good man you was once a acoholic, smoker partier, but one day years ago fell to his knees and now preaches. God works in those who are willing, who love and know we are not worthy but forgiven.
