[after 1 Corinthians 4:7]

What have I that I have not received?

Even the Faith, with which I have believed

unto Salvation, is itself a gift.

I could not even rise from sin's mire, without a lift

from the hand of Christ, in which I am kept.

Though arrogant, ignorant, and contemptibly inept,

I have been redeemed, despite all lack of worth.

When Christ summons me, I shall depart this Earth,

to soar starward with ultimate anticipation

of the joy in Christ's Kingdom, and my soul's exultation:

for Christ's shed blood has secured the Heavenly

privilege through all of eternity

for those He has saved . . . even the likes of me.

Starward
