Gateway to Belief



Our Savior, Jesus, stands one’s final guide,
Even when others taunt and chide.

All things in prayer one must confide,
For disciples by holy precepts abide.

One rises above empty selfish pride,
Puts past sin, sorrows. and trials aside.

Christ shines perpetual as the rolling tide,
A mighty intercessor at one’s side.

Salvation implies a vow.   One must decide!
True faith is not just another ride.

While autumn leaves flutter, eagles glide,
Christ reigns overall, no matter what betide.

One needs no longer search far and wide,
Because at Calvary for one’s sins Christ died!
