The Sinner and the Son

I have come to know Jesus Christ, is the Begotten Son I have come to know in my heart, he is the chosen one In my life I have been, what a man should never be It was the Lord Jesus Christ that came to set me free I was locked up inside a cell, so deep inside of a hole It had been years since I had thought about my soul I have spilled so much blood, lived in so much doubt That I had totally lost all sight, of what I was all about Wearing the Brand of my Prison Gang, an oath taken for life I swore that I would hold my Gang above my Lord and Wife But then Jesus kissed my heart, and his love set me free As he planted deep inside my mind, the seed of Poetry I try to use my poetry, to teach others there is another way It doesn’t matter what you’ve been, if Jesus guides your day Through his love I was able to change my entire life Was the thing I had to do to hold the love of my wife So if you think I’m nice guy, then I beseech you to think again For I have walked with the coldest stroll, through the darkest sin I am just a simple man, at least that’s all I ever wanted to be I am just a simple servant; the Lord Jesus Christ is using me To this very day serious threats are made against my life Homeboys want to remove my brand, with a red-hot knife Because everyday I wear this brand, others can clearly see Even from the worst of Prison Gangs, a soul can be set free I am bound to the pits of hell, to that fact I have no doubt One day me and those I once loved are going have it out On that day watch the news, for you will be able to clearly see As a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, I will take evil men with me It’s not often that I speak of this, and never again in life will I But by the blood of the lamb, I am more than prepared to die So before you ever question my faith, know these words are true I earned every single drop of it, by the hell I have walked through

Michael after reading other comments from other poets, I cried I will keep you in my prayers as I said before, you are no longer bound for hell, like said in another comment your destination is heaven. Do not get into trouble that will take you from your Wife, and family. This world can sometimes be very unjust. Becareful. Do not fear, GOD will keep you safe. Keep being an inspiration, and witness it matters very much to Jesus Christ the SON. God Bless YOU!

Michael, you can't just become a nice...you have always been a nice guy, that guy was just deadened to the Way...so to speak, and you awoke to the Light one day and the nice guy that has always been there, had a story to tell. Keep telling...I'm listening...(and don't call me Fraiser!) LOL This is so beautiful! You move me with every word. ~Tru~

Anyone questioning your faith has not read a word you've written! God's redemption pours out of your poetry. Thank you for sharing and don't ever forget that no matter what you have done or even plan to do, you are lovable. Your wife knows it. God always knew it and I'll vouch for that fact too. With the Love of Christ, a fellow Poet.

Jesus doesn't care when we recognize Him, He just prays for us that we one day do as with you. It's never too late to be embraced by or to embrace the Truth. Very well written my friend. Michael

I must agree with your friend Michael's comments below. Please always follow that advice. I only see the person you are today, and though your past will always be a part of you, never forget it is partly why you are the man we all love, respect and admire. Not to mention an amazing and talented poet. If only everyone could be like you, the world would be a more beautiful place, You continue to inspire us all. Love you, Shar

In reading other comments I am surprised know one told you to not kill or hurt someone else. Call the cops if someone threatens you Michael do it for your family sake dont risk killing someone and going back to jail. This is a wonderful write and I say these because Ive been there and Im looking out for my christian brother. God bless you and your family..................... Michael

Michael I dont know why you want us to think twice about you being a nice guy ? That was your past you are forgiven and you are a nice guy. I dont recommend that you hurt or kill your enemies unless in self defense. God tells us to follow the laws. If you or your family feels threatened call the police yes Michael they work for you to to protect you from those people. Dont take the law into your own hands when we do that we can sometimes be taken away from our family..

Michael sometimes we have to step up to the plate and do what we have to do to survive, the Lord is watching over you and he will let nothing happent to you, no weapon formed against you shall prosper but know that if anything should ever happen you will be protected, only God can truly set us free, do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer, Look! The Devil will keep throwing some of you into prison that you may be fully put to the test, and that you may have tribulaiton 10 days
