I'M Finally Filled With Righteousness

I sang many songs that made no sense to me, they were the empty words of a distressed soul... they held me down with chains and took control! I walked with a lowered head ignoring divine mercy, too afraid to look up and face my heavy guilt humbly: God was there, a step away from me! God was there, trying to embrace me: does a sinner understand his misery? I'm finally filled with righteousness, not fearing the angry voices that mock me; they have lost their power over me! I'm finally filled with righteousness, night brings calmness and restfulness; I sleep and dream of heavenly visions until the brightness makes its way through and illuminates all roads that were too dark; I find time to praise Him for waking me up, instead of thanking luck! I couldn't forgive others for the harm done to me, ah, revenge makes anger grow and causes more animosity; I cursed them and felt delighted, but that was cruel of me! Consider kindness towards those unkind to you and rest easy! I'm finally filled with righteousness, throw stones at me, they won't hurt me at all; speak words of evil, they won't challenge me, and despite the unfairness of your actions, I remain humble and forget grievances... as Christ forgave, I'm willing to forgive all!
