STEPS TO CHRIST

by Jevede

S - is for Salvation; it's as free as the air we breathe

T - is for the Treasures Jesus wants us to lay up in heaven,
Where neither moth nor rust corrupteth,
Nor thieves break through and steal

E - is for Everyone; it's for everyone that Jesus died
E's also for Everlasting life,
Which may be yours if you accept Christ's
atoning sacrifice

P - is for Prayer, the open line of communion
between God and man
If you pray like you should, you'll be free from
spiritual dross,
There'll be no mountain you cannot climb,
No river you cannot cross

S - is for the Sacrifice that Jesus paid on Calvary;
He died the death we all deserved to die,
So from sin and its eternal consequences
we may be free.

T - is for Today and Tomorrow; ye sterday is forever gone
Leave the past behind; that is where it belongs,
Today, accept as your Savior, Jesus Christ the Lamb,
Then there'll be blessed hope for tomorrow and beyond

O - is for Overwhelming, which is how your sins may seem;
But Jesus will cast them in the depths of the sea,
Yea, He'll make you clean!

C - is for the Christian life - Christ's life -
That is imparted by grace to the saved;
It means treading the path that Jesus trod -
The path that leads to God

H - is for the Happiness and the peace that Christ imparts -
Joy to make the spirit soar,
To lift our fainting hearts

R - is for the Righteousness, which Jesus gives in
exchange for our sin;
It's the righteous character reserved
For he who sees the strait gate and enters in

I - is for Indebted; we are all indebted to Christ,
But all that He askes is that we'll give Him our lives

S - is for the School of Christ, where we learn to be like Him;
I n that, we learn the true essence of Christianity:
Love, discipleship and humility

T - is for Trust, without which it is impossible to please Him;
Trust is one of the fruits of friendship,
The absence of which results in a broken relationship;
If you desire to walk with Jesus all the way,
Then, trust, my friend,
Trust and obey
