Tom Wright Poet Lyric

God Said, Checkmate

God said, Checkmate
Written; by Tom Wright
January 1st 2015

I was surviving in life, just doing my thing,
Only one day to realize, my life, was a mess.
In life’s chess game, God had my attention,
With life in the balance, I dared not to guess.

With worry plaguing me, and spirit bound,
I accepted Jesus Christ as my living answer.
By repenting, my sins, now under his blood,
Made the news less important, of my cancer;
