There were children on the floor,
Conning Bible verses o’er.
“Which word, all the Bible through,
Do you love the best?” asked Sue.
“I like ‘faith’ the best,” said one.
“‘Jesus’ is my word alone.”
“I like ‘hope,’” “I like ‘love.’”
“I like ‘heaven,’ our home above.”
One, more small than all the rest,
“I like ‘whosoever’ best.
“‘Whosoever,’ that means all—
Even I, who am so small.”
“‘Whosoever!’ Ah! I see;
That’s the word for you and me.”
“Whosoever will” may come;
Find a pardon and a home.
“WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13.
“WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
“WHOSOEVER will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17.
BUT
“WHOSOEVER was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15.
