These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Blessed Knitting

Knitting rows and rows of threads
creates the scarves we make.
Knitting hearts as we are led,
His Kingdom's prizes take.

Salvation bought by blest blood poured.
His Church He knits of hearts.
The Savior is the always Lord.
New life to us imparts.

The Father calls and knits His own.
He makes of us His Will.
For none can come by will alone,
but drawn by God so filled.
(John 6:44, KJV)

All the Father gives to Him
are knitted heart-to-heart,
and he, that comes as saving's gem
Christ never says, "Depart!"
(John 6:37, KJV)

Keep knitting gifts by worthy hands,
and pray Salvation comes
to those we love in family bands,
each person, and the sums.
