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
