If a Sinner

If a sinner is forgiven,
Should they rise beyond the grave,
Seeking all that you have given,
In the lifetime that you gave...
Could it really be that easy,
In the first breath of their last,
Just to ask for his forgivness,
In the present fore they pass...
It just seem's so condenscending,
After sacrifices made,
Not just you but one of many,
With a price we all have paid...
So I ask you soldier Christian,
As you stand before your God,
With your scriptures as petition,
To release them of their fraud...
Would you let them go before you,
Would you let them take your place,
Even if the the one before you,
May have fallen from his Grace...
