I
I wrote this about two weeks after I was saved. Thankful to the Holy Spirit for inspiration as I'm no poet. I hope you enjoy.
God Be Merciful To This Sinner
Do you know what real love is?
There are some that do not care
But I have found it through the Lord
And the joy now I must share.
I spent my years with worldly things
Searching for a life of bliss
I did not find a way, Not one
For Jesus I did miss.
In times of trouble I went in prayer
In hope that things would change
Would the Lord lend ear or care?
Why should he, I was strange.
It came to pass, I sat in church
In front of God my head was bowed
For Jesus then my heart did search
My life was his I vowed.
From then my life is led by His
I glorify His name
I think now back to life of old
And hang my head in shame.
In God I have a Father
Who teaches right from wrong
Come and find Him while He’s near
Your Chance may not last long.
Jesus Hung upon a cross
For us His blood was shed
That we may have eternal life
And not be living dead.
The Spirit lives within me now
And helps me face the world
Strain of sin wiped from my brow
The flag of Christ unfurled.
