If I Were Permitted but One Statement
by Quentin S ClingermanIf I were permitted but one statement
Defining who I am and what I believe
If I could speak but once for here and now
For all the world to hear and see
If only one time my heart could overflow
That all from the least to the greatest should know
There would be no heisitation,
No need for parsing or careful deliberation
The statement is in my constant consciousness
Ready on the tip of my tongue and pen
To be spoken, to be written
Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord
Very God who became Man
Died for us and rose again
For all mankind
That we may, in repentance and faith
Be spared Hell
And gain Heaven
Rejoicing in the life of the Spirit

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 10/09/09 at 04:26 PM It occurs to me that we are saved by The Word and by our own words when written from the soul which means written from the Spirit. Your words are salvific. Thanks Q. |

Great and wonderful write and how so true. He sure did, our Precious Lord. Just hoping and praying, many others will listen and come to Jesus too. |

| Posted by A. Paige White on 10/11/09 at 05:47 PM This statement is permitted because the ink of love, ink of blood, is written into parchment that lives and breathes, living and laughing... The parchment that is us. You drew me in, Que. I definitely permit your statement on this parchment paige. Thanks, Bro, I needed your statement today. |
