Ever Thankful

Now that you have opened my sinful eyes,

I cannot unsee what I have now seen.

Saving me from my spiritual demise,

Disobedient since the age thirteen.

 

Christ’s blood now covering my unpaid debt,

Washing away the wages of my sin.

Scrubbing off actions that I now regret,

Saving me from hell much to my chagrin.

 

I try to be the best I can each day,

But every time I feel that I fall short.

I try as I can to follow your way,

But I cannot do it without support.

 

Within you grace I become so tranquil;

Something for which I am ever thankful.

amen Todd! Amen! this is a difficult place to come to isn't it..we want so bad to be OK..but ever our sin lies before us ..the experience is all too humbling .. i think even more so for men who are the "fixers" ;) to know that it can't be achieved shakes us to the quick ..and to come to the knowledge of Christ is as you testify tranquil and rises up thanksgiving ... as far as i know all other religions do not offer such a solution ...one must die killing infidels...or keep being reborn .. or be the impossible perfect .... Thank you God, Thank you Jesus ... thank you Todd for sharing your Faith in such a heart felt poem
