For the homosexual, there lies hope,
And for those addicted to dope.
For the alcoholic and prostitute,
God is offering another route.
For the jailbird and the car-jacking thief,
Exists a genuine source of relief.
For the gang leader and the drug dealer,
God is a proven, life-changing healer.
For the gambler and sexually loose,
The enormous debt can be reduced.
For the rapist and killer cold-blooded,
With joy, your soul can be overflooeded.
For all who have sinned--fell short of glory,
Read a happy ending to your story.
Jesus died for each and everyone--
No matter what it is that you have done.

I love that you have named, specifically, the areas of our need for forgiveness… no beating around the bush… that's brave and needed. Keep writing like this and you will make a difference.
