Saving Grace

Your hands reach to heaven, but your heart speaks to hell Once you were an angel, seduced by sin, you fell Your soul is warm and giving, your heart is cold as ice Your devil makes you foolish, your angel wants you nice Choices, you're making the wrong ones each hour Once a red rose, now your a withered dying flower Your hard life has taken a toll, once a beauty now a troll Needing redemption, you look above to save your soul You got to give up the devil, if you want God to show mercy Put down the crutch and let God's hands set you free Aware that He is there, you know you must surrender Release all the sins the devil has you drowning under Life of hanging with the devil is one He didn't condemn Your hands reached to heaven, He's taken hold of them

Nicely done. I would have tagged this as couplets rather than a sonnet though.
