I Come To Be - Backwards

This is my poem I Come To Be....only backwards!! And Jesus shines brighter than the sun. My life here on earth is done, Where streets of gold are all I see. This is where I dream to be, So thankful, amazed and awed. Bowing before a gracious God, Once again, down on my knees. This is where I come to be, But God says, “I will restore and make you whole.” Guilt and condemnation overwhelm my soul Overcome with shame, on my knees. This is how I come to be, I fall into addiction to escape. The love I once felt turns to hate. Bitter and angry when someone hurts me. This is how I come to be, Yet Jesus gives me new birth. The fall of man, the sin of the earth, Born into sin and iniquity. This is how I came to be,
