Almost Persuaded.........

Almost persuaded, was I to believe
In a God who died for me
Almost I was willing to receive
His gift of love so free
Almost I believed in Him……
A King who left His throne
To become the Perfect Lamb
Our sin-stains to atone

Almost, almost I believed
In the One who died for me
But almost now will never be
Enough in death to set me free

Almost, I bowed my head to weep
Repentant of my sin
Almost, almost this straying sheep
Joined the ninety-nine
But it seems that life distracted me
From that One perfect love
In anguish now I sadly see
Almost is not enough

Almost, almost, I said ‘yes
Yes Lord, I believe
But almost is vain foolishness
No mercy can it give

Whoever believes on Him shall have
Everlasting life
Hope beyond the cold, dark grave
And in this fleeting strife
Whosoever will come to Him
He will not cast away
Almost is a hopeless gleam
If we never say……..

“Yes, oh Lord, yes I believe
Accept my humble plea”
Almost persuaded cannot be enough
Now to deliver me……….

God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us [ROM 5:8].
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through Him might be saved [JOH 3:16, 17].
He is the lover of our souls.
The Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me [GAL 2:20].

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners [1TI 1:15].

He is the One who now invites you to receive Him as your Savior.
If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved [ROM 10:9].
He who comes to Me I will in no wise cast out ... Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes on Me has everlasting life [JOH 6:37, 47].
He is the One Who will judge in righteousness all those who refuse His salvation.
He who believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he who believes not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abides on him [JOH 3:36].
God ... now commands all men everywhere to repent: because He has appointed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man Whom He has ordained [ACT 17:20, 31].
