A PRE-BIRTH CHARGE
Imagine you appeared with Christ,
Just outside heaven’s gate.
He said He had a mission for you;
You were thrilled; you could hardly wait.
He said to earth you would go,
Of a man and woman to be born.
When He showed you a list of His challenges,
You dropped to your knees to mourn.
For on that list He handed you,
Were trials and temptations,
Grievous things, like sickness and death,
Abuse, and persecutions.
“I’ll give you several talents,” He said;
“Don’t let Satan steal them away.
If they are used to edify me,
You will one day come here to stay.”
“I have prepared the way for you;
Your guide will be my Word.
Gird yourself with my armor;
Your prayers will always be heard.”
He lifted me up and held me close,
“You will always be in my care.”
He continued to comfort with His words:
“Your burdens I will help you to bear.”
“I will see you again one day;
In the meantime I offer my grace.
Just ask for my mercy and pardon,
Til we meet again face to face.”
“And if you sin along the way,
Or if you feel you have failed,
Pray to me for forgiveness,
That’s why on the cross I was nailed.”
“You will not remember my Words this day,
But this list I’ll again make known.
At the end of your life we’ll review it,
When you stand at my judgment throne.”
