Forgiven

Yes, I was a transgressor And I have broken all nine Except the morbid one on murder For I cannot stand the sight of blood But then again, I did, for hate was mine In evil thoughts and fiery rage Enough to swallow my foe alive. If looks could kill I've murdered many My cutting words had ruined many lives My Pride, the very sin of Lucifer And my Greed had eaten all but me. The seething hate never forgave The bitterness was overwhelming And I blamed God for everything. But I was at the end of my rope In darkness of soul I anguished The torment so great there was no Hope Like a snake I recoiled to perish Yet He looked at me and took me back Touched my empty life with Love No one told me how great He is Yes, God had found me in my abyss. 'For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.' (Romans 6: 23)
