Poetry
The guilt from the past tends to haunt me,
My heart can't accept Your free grace,
But then I remember
Your grace was not free,
By Your death You've taken my place.
For sin has a price that is costly,
For all sin requires a death,
For God in His justice
Could not look away,
My living cost You Your last breath.
"Forgive them, my Father," You asked Him,
"For they do not know what they've done,"
My selfish ambitions,
The pleasures I craved,
Were bought through the life of the Son.
The gift that You offer is priceless,
Not merely a token of love,
For all that You have
You have given,
And now intercede from above.
Though I'll not forget my transgressions,
In Your sight I have become clean,
Through Your resurrection
I too have new life,
For You in Your love intervene.
