We Cannot Purchase Poem by Gary James Smith

We Cannot Purchase

We cannot purchase Salvation
For it is a gift from above
Freely offered upon repentance
Bestowed on us by God
The indwelling of the Spirit
Seals it to our heart
We are given the Companionship
Of one who'll never depart

A gift above all others
Not another can compare
Cleaning up our lives within
And infusing it with prayer
Emitting praises more easily
Then it ever had before
Lifting our hearts to Jesus Christ
We will praise Him forever more

For that gift that keeps on giving
What an offering so divine
His shed blood the purchase price
To make Salvation mine
And in that precious Word of God
It is written indeed it is
Now we have a light to our path
To guide us while we live

So take heart fellow travelers
May be you never knew
There's a God in Heaven above
Who has a gift for you
Your admission that you're a sinner
And a turning from that way
Will present to you Salvation's gift
Will you make it yours today?
