How I Thought

I want to be truthful in this poem that I write My thoughts about heaven which I thought was right I thought that living in a christian country Made me a christian too Don't kill no-one, and try my best that will surely do I didn't go to church, I didn't even pray I thought that if I could be quite good Then I would be ok I know I've made a few mistakes A few white lies you see But I thought that if I was still quite good That will do for me So there are just a few little words of how I used to be And now I will write some more And share the change in me If I could get into heaven by just being good Then Christ died for nothing when He shed His blood God has changed me now you see And opened up my eyes No more I am following, following Satan's lies Salvation is a gift from God that He's given me The price it cost Him was His Son when He died for me So I thank the Lord for saving me and showing me the way I declare it's nothing I have done, in His grace I stand today.
