And the Spirit and the Bride say Come,
An open invitation to enlist in God’s kingdom,
An invitation to the wedding feast
Opened to the “whosoever”,
the greatest and the least.
The “whosoever”
will may come
Compliments of Jesus, God’s crucified and risen Son
Who died an “ignominious death”
But who forgave his perpetrators with his dying breath.
Today he calls out to the “whosoever” will,
Come while he patiently waits for you and me still,
Come, he is far more than a cheap emotional thrill,
Come, he’ll satisfy your soul; you’ll need no refill.
What an invitation signed in blood!
As he hung from that cross of blood stained wood,
Accept this invitation; the “whosoever” should,
For us Jesus has done all that he really could.
No less did God do, no more could he have done
Than to give Himself in the essence of His Son
To afford the “whosoever”
an undeserving invitation
To the wedding of His Son and His everlasting kingdom.
If any man thirst let him come and drink,
Open to the “whosoever”
with whom the Spirit links,
What a guarantee, what a revealing assurance!
Such an invitation should make all the difference.
For God so loved the world that He gave
That the “whosoever”
won’t perish but be saved;
Nothing really matters regarding what you have
achieved
If in Jesus Christ, the Saviour you have not believed.
The “whosoever”
that lives and believes in Him
Jesus has relieved them from the penalty of sin,
Their sin has been expunged and death holds no sway,
Over the believer the grave no longer has that say.
Remission of sins is now the lot of the believer,
All them that are born again are the blessed receivers,
God indwells the “whosoever”
that has confessed His Son
And promises safe harbor when earth’s journey is done.
Jesus is the propitiation for everyone’s sin,
He died on the cross our eternal souls to win,
Today some “whosoever”
can be among the redeemed
If he accepts Jesus right now and let him intervene.
While this grand word “whosoever” still rings within your ears,
Harden not you heart but believe that Jesus cares,
For “whosoever”
believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed
For he gave up heaven’s splendor our souls to reclaim.
“For God so loved the world” may be treated as all
But, “that whosoever
will” is an individual call,
While in Adam the entire world suffered from the fall,
In Jesus “whosoever”
can be saved; why do you yet stall?
Jesus is come as that promised Light to guide
That “whosoever”
believes on him in darkness should not abide
But rather trust in him and in him alone confide,
Cognizant of the fact that this life is an
unpredictable ride.
“Whosoever” is “whosoever”
hears the voice of the Lord,
“Whosoever” is “whosoever”
trusts in His written word,
“Whosoever” is the “whosoever”
that daily does His bidding,
“Whosoever” is the “whosoever”
that will be present at the wedding.
Think about this poem seriously rather than deem it as
sport,
Refuse the devil’s offer to continue reveling in his
court,
I shall be eternally grateful that “whosoever” became “Stewart”
For I know my Savior will conduct me safely to
heaven’s port.
