 "I DREAMED I STOOD AT CALVARY"

I dreamt I stood at Calvary
  And saw three crosses there;
  On left and right were nailed two thieves,
  The cross between was bare.
   A soldier took his sword in hand,
  Then pointed it at me:
  He said "You there, prepare to die.
  That cross is meant for thee."
  I quickly fell upon my knees,
  For mercy did I cry;
  As strong hands grabbed my hands and feet,
  I shouted "Why, oh why?"
  And then a voice both soft and sweet
  Was heard above the din;
  "Let this one go, take me instead.
  I'll pay his price for sin."
  With his body torn and bleeding
  And thorn marks round his head;
  With bruises where they beat him,
  He stepped into my stead.
  Then Jesus laid upon the cross,
  His life did freely give,
  That all my sins be washed away
  And through his death, I'd live.
  He stretched his arms out open wide,
  No struggle did he make.
  As they prepared to nail him there
  His life they meant to take.
  They drove the spikes in hands and feet,
  And slammed the cross in place.
  His bones were shaken out of joint,
  And blood ran down his face.
  "Forgive them, Father," was his cry,
  "They know not what they do."
  God must have wept when he realized
  He sacrificed his only Son for you.
  When I awoke, the night had passed
  And Sunshine flooded in;
  I cried "Dear Lord, forgive me please,
  And cleanse me of my sin.
  For you sent down your only son,
  A ransom for the lost:
  And I see you included me,
  When counting out the cost."
  Yes I dreamt I stood at Calvary
  And saw those crosses three;
  Yet no longer do I need to fear
  Knowing Jesus died for me.

Four things God wants YOU to know:

1. You are lost and need a Savior:

   "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."  (Romans 3:23)

   "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"  (Romans 3:10)

2. You cannot save yourself:

   "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift  of  God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8, 9)

   "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:5)

3. Christ died for you:

   "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth 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." (John 3:16, 17)     

   "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

4. You must receive Christ as Your Savior:

   "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:11, 12)    

   "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."  (Acts 16:30, 31)
"

 

SINNERS PRAYER:

"Lord, I know I am a sinner, I know I cannot save myself, I know Christ died for me and I accept Him as my Lord and Savor. Thank you for saving my soul. amen"
