All around Emmitt there was much love because Emmitt gave much love as
his he demonstrated in the following poem of salvation.

ARE YOU SAVED
I lived my life in total sin
I didn't care about the end.
I didn't think about my behavior,
Until I found Jesus Christ as my savior.
Learning about how he died.
But knowing he is there all the time.
Hearing about Calvary and the cross.
Throwing sins away with just
Are we worth the greatest gift,
living life not too stiff.
It might have been in the past.
But how long will that last.
Good is coming back you know.
And what do we have to show
But sit back and ask a question,
Before it's too late for a last confession.
Now think real hard from your hearts.
Before it's ripped apart.
Don't wait for the end of days,
I'm just asking "Are you Saved?"
