I do not claim to try and write a sonnet
I only know whatever it is God's hand's upon it
In a still small voice He whispers to me
I take pen in hand and write for the Almighty
The world is focused on all earthly manner of things
My reply is where is the teaching of the blood at Calvary
The world is claiming there's many ways to heaven
My reply is only through the cross and shed blood is salvation
The world says it's my life I'll do what I want to
My reply is the wages of sin is death the bible warns you
The world says if it feels good just do it
My reply is walk not in the flesh be led by the holy spirit
The world says come on let's party and have some fun
My reply is Thy kingdom come Thine will be done
The world says come on this once nobody will know
My reply is God is everywhere looking to and fro
The world says love the one you're with, some have many
My reply true rewards come only by loving your enemies
The world says the one that dies with the most toys win
My reply what does it profit a man to gain the world
and lose his soul in the end
The world says tomorrow I will change my ways
My reply tomorrow isn't promised to anyone on any day
The world says apologize and maybe then I will forgive
My reply is forgiveness is for your own soul to live
The world says it has it's own way to do things
My reply is broad is the way to the road of distruction
The world says once saved always saved
My reply while searching the scriptures "IF" was gave

(King James Version)
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Philippians 2:1-11
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ,
if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better
than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things,
but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,
and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,
but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and
if there be any praise, think on these things.
1 John 2:
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from
the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning
shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son,
and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us,
even eternal life.
