Forgiveness Of Sins

In truth, the hardest thing I've done, Was turning from revenge Against the evil of someone Whose life was like a stench... For he was rotten to the core, Determined to be bad And I despised him all the more With all the hate I had... Just like a cancer in my heart, Hate festered deep inside, But that was simply for a start, For love within me died... And faith and hope and charity Lay shrivelled in the dust, Till God took me to Calvary With my own sins discussed... Without excuses, I stood still And stared at Jesus Christ, For He obeyed His Father's will When He was sacrificed... And God told me Christ shed His Blood, Forgiveness to provide, Behold the Man, the Lamb of God, The King they crucified... Now on my knees, with words unsaid, Just tears the only proof, I simply wished that I were dead And that's the solemn truth... For all like sheep have gone astray, Not one is guilty free, I'd no escape from Judgment Day, Except Christ died for me... While God forgives, I found it hard, Condemned, with furrowed brow, For when could I this hate discard And thus God's grace allow? Somehow hate died, my soul reborn, The day I understood, Forgiveness shared with one forlorn, Who judged yet wasn't good... Faith blossoms when the soul is healed, Faith grows when God forgives, Faith overflows with Christ revealed, In knowing Jesus lives... That's how the Christian Church began, With sinners' sins confessed, To turn from hate, to love God's plan, All Holy Spirit blessed... - Denis Martindale, copyright, February 2012.
