What A Savior
Written: by Tom Wright
3-16-2008
I sought forgiveness for my sordid past
A past, that God alone, knew the whole
Bits & pieces that with others were cast
Had no bearing on a young man’s soul
Like a three-act play that cast one man
Depression, was partnering with my being
I had drifted long within the Devil’s plan
Eyes opened wide but without really seeing
The world had caused my heart to harden
I could barely utter audible sounds that day
Instead of a parole Jesus granted a pardon
Transforming my heart unto one of clay
This one called Jesus whom I’d just found
From my fears released He on that day
Hurtful memories that long had me bound
Gave way to insight and His perfect way
When God Forgives He Forgets
It is hard to forget our past the way God does
But we must forgive ourselves and move on.
Tom
