Poem
Sin is a disease that destroys from The darkness where it lingers Always taunting us in the shadows Of bitterness and dread, sinister And haunting, calling out to the soul For just a little more of its hope Until all hope has been lost And even faith and love are gone Sin is ugly and angry and hateful It prides itself on taking away All the light that caresses a life And stealing even the memories Of laughter and joy, fulfillment Found in colors of love breathing Through a heart, whispering gently Truth, inspiration and contentment Sin is black and murky, obscuring itself In the silhouettes of revulsion, disgust That clings to the underbelly of evil Thrusting its tentacles into corruption Pleading with wickedness to continue Producing sorrow and pain and regret Remorse that remembers only the hues Of somber gray that left a heart in fear Sin is furious when it’s discovered And called upon to make itself known To become a sin that is manifested And adorned with the sacred blood From the One who died to cleanse Free the slave from the sinning And release the captive with forgiveness Absolution, pardon, clemency Bought and paid for by the Son Who died on calvary and rose up again On the third day… to finally say Our sin is under the blood Forgiven, we can seek God’s approval Shun the darkness and begin again To live in the light, where we can be seen As a child of God, beloved and covered By grace that has given us all the chance To live for Jesus and enter heaven’s sanctuary Eternally blessed – a child of the best God’s grace is sufficient to save our souls Allowing His love to make us whole Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
