Jesus and His word offended me more than a few times until the hard soil of my heart had been broken up enough to receive the gospel. The word of Jesus has the potential to save if it germinates in a person's heart, something the devil is very much against.
Did many things to quench my flesh
And bound myself in immoral mesh
Raised my voice for soul be mended
Saw Your word and was offended
Came unglued and crashed Hell's gate
Knew now not my soul could wait
Filled my head with works intended
Heard Your voice and was offended
Broke Your word on every breath
Swiftly moving on a course of death
Came to church - my lust descended
Saw Your stand and was offended
When all was lost, I called to Thee
Did shine Your light that I might see
"Save me from sin O, Savior, please!"
Saw Your love and fell to my knees
My broken life was all I gave
Some believed, "Impossible to save!"
You gave me back a soul ammended
Never again am I offended, Selah!
