S-A-V-I-O-U-R

S-aviour is what you are to me,
   you rescued me from a life of immorality. 
A-shamed ashamed of how I use to be,
   thank you Lord, you set me free! 
V-ile and Wicked was my name,
   you died on the cross and bore my shame.
I-magine how I would have been,
  if Jesus had not bore my sin.
O-rder would not have been restored,
   because such a price I could not afford.
U-nited with Christ is my desire to stay,
   now, forever and always.
R-edeemer and King my God you are,
   my all in all, my life, my Star!!
