Poems

He gives the very best by Jo Ann Kelly
The Lord gave me beauty for ashes,
His oil of joy for mourning and distress,
A garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.
In the Loving Savior, I found peace and blessed rest.

There was nothing good within,
Until Christ came into my life and heart.
He took away my sorrow and sin.
Only He could give a brand new start.

Weary and worn, we walk alone, as we journey through this world;
Not realizing Christ is there all the time.
Then, one day, we hear the Savior calling our name,
Saying, "Child I have claimed you. Come to me and be mine."

We run to the Savior, who has arms opened wide;
Finding all we need in His salvation and love.
He gives us a new life, delivered from sin and strife.
He gives the very best, sent from our Father, up above.
