These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

"If the Savior Comes Today"

Verse #1
If the Savior comes today,
will you walk the Glory way?
Up above the stars so high
in His mansion ne'er to die,
saved from sin His Grace has lift
woeful souls, who need His Gift.

Chorus
If the Savior comes today,
live in Mercy's full display.
Joy forever He will give,
if your heart is His to live.
Blessed Savior raised to be
Husband for believers free.

Verse #2
If the Savior comes today,
we'll remember the joyful day
He was born in the manger low,
then one day to Calvary go.
Up above the Jewish soil
paid the price in lasting toil.

Chorus
If the Savior comes today,
resurrection saves the day.
Hope in Christ is His to give,
if your heart is His to live.
Blessed Savior raised to be
Husband for believers free.

Verse #3
If the Savior comes today
choice of joy or full dismay,
lasting rivers of His bliss,
if His truth you once did kiss,
but in Hell, if you reject
Mercy and your soul have wrecked.

Chorus
If the Savior comes today,
will you walk the Glory way?
Full salvation He will give,
if your heart is His to live.
Blessed Savior raised to be
Husband for believers free.

Author’s Note:
This was written for the January 2020 round of "Rhythm & Rhyme: Poetry/Lyrics Challenge" 

Day 3 Prompt:
Write your own lyrics to the tune of the ABC Song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Black Sheep

**Growing up in the home of a Baptist preacher, I learned the truth of the Gospel message
from my earliest years. I became a Christian at age six, and I have had no more important thoughts to share
than that all men everywhere need to come to Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth, for everlasting salvation.

The tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" has been known to my young heart for just as many years.
To marry the tune and the message is a great joy to my heart. I pray, that every reader will gain everlasting encouragement in His great Salvation purchased on Calvary's Cross and through the resurrection from the garden tomb, which was borrowed but for a weekend. I've given a theme and variation, that you should recognize easily enough in verse #2.**
