[title] => 3 Nails Plus A Cross Equals Forgiveness
[time] => 2004-08-14 22:34:57
[hometext] => The inspiration for this came from a fountain pen I received during our local 4H fair... in the shape of a nail and the saying on it read: 3 NAILS + 1 CROSS = 4 GIVEN... It has taken me about a week to write this... finally... it is finished...
[bodytext] => In my Christian walk with thee I have found forgiveness is the golden key If I forgive another who has done wrong to me Then I … myself… can ask forgiveness of the Lord And by His wonderful grace… it will be granted to me ‘Cause… Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness for me When Jesus died upon that lonely… lonely tree For me… a sinner… a lost… lonely and dying one He spilled His precious… precious blood He took all my sins and then… bore them upon the cross So that I might have everlasting life through Him And receive forgiveness within my heart And believe that… Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness for me I once was a sinner… lost in a world of sin and shame Tried of living my life in vain Pushed to and fro… by the wicked winds of life that blow Having no knowledge of those three nails plus a cross… Then one night… in the wee hours of the morning light I heard a knock at my heart’s door… I… slowly began… to open the door… To find my Savior standing there… A loving smile stretched across His face Showing me He cared… with His beauty and grace… As He stood there silently in the soft rain… That was falling down from my heart’s window pane I’ll never forget the sound of those whispered words of love… That my heart found that night… sent down from above… He said… to me… “Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness from me When I died upon that lonely… lonely tree For you… a sinner… a lost… lonely and dying one I spilled my precious… precious blood I took all your sins and then… bore them upon the cross So that you might have everlasting life through me And receive forgiveness within your heart And believe that… Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness from me…” Now… you too… my friend… can receive this same forgiveness as me… If you’ll just heed to the knocking at your heart’s door And surrender all to the Lord… And hear those whispered words of love… within your heart… “Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness from me…” Just as He said… to me… “Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness from me When I died upon that lonely… lonely tree For you… a sinner… a lost… lonely and dying one I spilled my precious… precious blood I took all your sins and then… bore them upon the cross So that you might have everlasting life through me And receive forgiveness within your heart And believe that… Three nails plus a cross equals forgiveness from me…” [comments] => 3 [counter] => 297 [topic] => 19 [informant] => kidpoet_213 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
