Fit to meet the King

No other way to God
if Jesus is refused;
God has provided him as such,
and so if he’s abused,
there is no other way
that we can be made fit
to come to One so holy, pure
dressed in a clean outfit.

To meet a king you should
be tidy, clean, polite:
to meet the universe’s King
your life must be made right.
But that means all your past
that’s wrong must be wiped clean,
and gain new attitude of heart
where selfishness has been.

But only God, as Christ
could die to clear our guilt,
and give us life that loves his ways –
all through his own blood spilt.
No other route to God –
kind Jesus is the Way!
so turn to him for cleansing, life
repent and humbly pray.
