Paid In Full

I've been abandoned, and I've been ridiculed, so many times I have acted just like a fool. I've been cursed, and cast aside, only to be knocked down every time I try. I've been preached to, and some have offered me their prayers, but when I need them, no one is ever there. I've been a sinner in my quest to live my life, but now looking back, only pain and misery is what I've got. Then I felt Jesus as He gathered me in His arms; His comfort inside me, keeping me safe from harm. He knows my troubles, and the path I chose to follow, but my sweet Jesus has given me new hope for tomorrow. He will not abandon or cast me aside, but always stay close by me, giving me eternal life. He cast my sins away, and freed my burning soul, and told me softly, "You still have miles to go." He said, "One day Heaven will be your new home, but until then, I'll be right here, and I will never leave you alone." He showed me His hands where the nails went deep inside, and then He told me my forgiveness was the reason He had to die. " You owe me nothing, Paid in full on Calvary."
