When I read my bible, I seek the hope Hope that comes from knowing Love that will teach me how to cope Coping with the shadows who’re growing Growing into ghosts I wrestle Little sins who tell me it’s ok to indulge Indulge in the darkness, nestle With the forces that divulge… What it means to play with the vile The evil sins, even when they are little Force the heart to forget its smile And face the fact that it needs an acquittal Acquittal from the sin that lets in The worst of the devil’s devices Devices like worry, fear and so much sin That forces the heart to pay high prices Prices for forgetting the fact of life Without Jesus’ forgiveness we’re doomed Doomed to a hell where we’ll know such strife Strife that assures our soul will be consumed Consumed by the darkness, the sin and death All the dark forces that fill us with doubt Remember… turn to Jesus and with every breath There is the promise of a love that will shout… Praise to the Father, praise to the One Who sought me, so thankful for all that He’s done He saved me from sin, my soul He won I’m so very thankful for God’s Only Son
