I Have Counted The cost (Poem No. 507
Only F.A.T people be save;
"The faithful, the attentive
And the Teachable."
Are we faithful in our prayers and study?
Are we attentive, devoted and steady?
Is our heart is humble and teachable?
or would we rather do our own way to reach our own goal?
Have we counted the cost, If our soul should be lost?
What if we gain the whole world, but we don't have the Lord?
What benefit we would get...? have we thought about it?
Have we thought of the cross and counted the cost?
My friend, let us not barter our soul,
For one night stand pleasure.
Let us be steadfast, for the glitter of sin,
Is fascinating, and usually win,
and make our soul stain.
While the door of His mercy is open,
Let us come to him and be sorry for our sin.
Come and be healed, won't we whisper and yield...?
And say," I am lost, and I have counted the cost.
