I'M Not Ashamed of Who I Am

A Bible thumper how sweet the sound, That means I’m in search of hallowed grounds. That means I was lost but now am found, And know the meaning of Heaven bound. That day His blood was spilled upon the cross, To bring salvation and hope to all who are lost. Father forgive them for they know not what they do, Even to this day those words still echo true. I pray for those who laugh and curse His name, For one day they must answer for their words of shame. There is not a lot I can say except I believe His word to be our greatest gift, And know that His return will be mighty and swift. I pity those that don’t believe an take His name in vain, For upon His return it will be too late to take part of our Saviors reign. For upon that day they will be cast away to suffer in torment for evermore, I just pray they open their eyes before it is too late and see what they all have in store. Bible thumper, holy roller that pretty much describes me to a tee, I love the one called Jesus and know He died for me. Should you ever choose to cross over that line, I’ll welcome you as a friend if that is not being too asinine.
