*Pastor’s Note: A.B. Simpson was a very well respected Canadian preacher, theologian and author who lived from December 15, 1843 to October 29, 1919. My prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired by his poetry as much as I am.


ONLY BELIEVE

What shall I do to be saved?
How shall I come to the Lord?
Only believe and confess Him;
Trust Him and rest in His word.

Christ has redeemed you from sin;
All of your debt has been paid.
Nothing remains but to enter
Into the peace He has made.

Why should you struggle so hard?
All of the work has been done.
’Tis not your goodness or badness,
But how you treat His dear Son.

Why should you tarry so long,
Waiting to make yourself right?
All things are ready and waiting,
Come, and receive Him to-night.

Jesus is all that you need.
All things are yours in the Lord.
Take Him to cleanse you and keep you;
Trust Him and rest in His word.

About Roland Ledoux

Ordained minister (thus a servant). Called to encourage and inspire one another by teaching His Word, and through intercessory prayer for others, praying for those in need as well as the lost.
