Saved By Grace

	A Sinners Lament,
	"Saved By Grace"
	Written: by Tom Wright
	5/2/99 
	
	The first place I should have gone,
	Was the last place that I went.
	Instead of residing in God's Castle
	I spent my time in the Devil's tent.
	
	Instead of feasting at God's table
	I dined with Satan from the ground.
	My thoughts seldom turning to Jesus
	To a burning Hell, my soul was bound.
	
	Instead of sparkling clear water
	On God's golden avenue.
	I drank of sin with the Devil
	Oh, the things he put me through.
	
	Then one day I felt like Jonah
	Having been told that I had cancer.
	No longer could I run and hide
	And the world, for me, had no answer.
	
	Now in shame I admit that as last resort
	To God, I had turned in prayer.
	The one, from whom so long I'd ran
	Had not tired and yet waited there.
	
	My life is now lived with a purpose
	With His spirit residing in me.
	It's for Him that I now labor
	For from sin I have been set free
