Salvation

The first piece I ever had published. This is from 2009ish.

The chorus of the angels arises, singing of my salvation,

The old washed away, the new shining as a candle.

That prayer so bold I prayed to a King higher than all;

The forgiveness given to me, so undeserving,

Yes, You shed Your blood for me.

I praise You for taking me after it all,

All the sinning, all the shame,

Those wretched words I put against You,

Those vile thoughts of anger toward You,

I disgust myself, but still, You love me.

Now You live in me, I spread Your message to all I meet,

I'm never going back, never going back,

Back to that horrid life,

I now have too much to lose.

You are the words I speak, the smile I wear,

You scatter my memories, never to be thought of again,

I now have the hope of You leaping in my soul,

Of Your love for us all, Your saving grace.

Now I wait anxiously to see You again,

I'll praise You till then, Jesus, My Lord.
