Lightening my Darkness

We were conceived and born in sin
Shrouded in pitch darkness
The price written was death
Paid for by Adam as a price for 
 treasonable felony in death
Then darkness became our
  second nature, 
Our apparel and our cloak

Jesus stood in our place and
Paid the debt of our progenitor
He took upon Himself our burden
  and baggage of sin
Nailing it on the cross.
Declaring our freedom from the law 
  of sin and death 
Lightening our darkness
Illuminating Us with His light.
