The Alpha Course!

Of course, the Alpha Course began With holy fervent prayer That God might yet fulfil His plan With everybody there! With Bibles ready in our hands And hymnbooks on our laps, We heard about the Lord's commands With no-one taking naps! It was then God's Holy Spirit Was ready to reveal, For everyone who would commit, The Lord Himself would heal, From memories to things not done, Mistakes and sins as well, Yet even more, through Christ, God's Son, Lost souls now saved from Hell! The Introduction shared The Way, The Way was Jesus Christ... The Christian faith that helps us pray, Believe and be baptised... We learnt from chapter and from verse The promises God made That brought God's blessing not God's curse To anyone who'd strayed. At first, it seemed too wonderful, Just too good to be true, Yet still the Lord was there to call The likes of me and you... I trembled as I felt Him near, I gulped back all my tears, As if there was something to fear, As in love, Jesus nears... Then all at once, I felt His touch... And love was everywhere... How could I know He loved so much? Yet now I was aware... Amazing grace, that's how it's known... Amazing and profound! I looked and knew, I'm not alone, For tears flowed all around... So many found the Lord that night! So many hearts were blessed! It was as if God shared delight And sweet eternal rest! It was as if joy had no end, No limits set in time, I tell you this, the Sinner's Friend, Is Christ... and He's sublime! Denis Martindale, copyright, September 2012.
