Can you hear them, <br />Fighting for your soul? <br />Death, Life, <br />Dark, Light, <br />Evil, God. <br />Can you feel them, <br />The fires of eternal pain, <br />Reaching to engulf you? <br />Can you see it, <br />The scarlet thread, <br />Narrow but strong, <br />Made of holy blood? <br />The death of One, <br />For all. <br />The perfect Rope <br />By which all men must be saved, <br />Or else eternally perish. <br />You fall, cast down <br />By your own wrongs, <br />Your own sin. <br />But take heart- <br />Catch hold <br />Of the scarlet thread <br />Of Christ's blood, <br />Which He shed, <br />That you might live. <br />Catch hold, and no matter <br />How low you are, <br />He will raise you up.<br /><br />James Grengs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-will-raise-you-up/
