God has sent down to earth
His gospel message of salvation
through the person of Jesus His son
what a wonderful happy occasion
For God saw man had fallen
into sinfulness so very great
only Jesus could rescue him
from this hell-bound awful state
Jesus's call was for repentance
for man to turn away from sin
and turn back to God's glorious way
receiving grace forever to win
Jesus now lives in heaven
interceding for those of His elect
up there, there's so great rejoicing
when sinners are no longer in debt
What a smile on Jesus's face
when His power is on display
bringing redemption to His saved
who repent to find God's way
(Having written this when considering when would Jesus smile when here on earth, this is my evidence that he would.)

Try to picture one who repents.
It's like one who oneself repaints
Ten liters of paint is lot of money
Try to price it: It's not funny.
While good and bad paint cost a lot
What God just wants is "What we've got."
For those who finally repent
Your big house lost to a tent;
You return all the money lent:
Not just like that, voice of a gent,
For each new sin your fine robes rent,
Your guilty head readily bent.

"Holy is the heart that repent of sins faults
Righteous is the one that overcomes
Passions fly social butterfly
Hearts that float artichokes
Grimace pains dirty rain
Apocalyptic grounds remains
These are the ends of times
it's time to unwind
Remembering first we are not cursed
Why? Holy is the heart that repents sins faults, just saying"
Amen!

An old thatched boat
full of goods and secrets
sails down memory lane.
Rice boils on a stained
stove again. The same
kerosene lamp flickers
in the salty breeze. His
eyes row along the wet
feminine nudity. Often
he shatters a widow’s
solitude on the Kanoli
Bank. He used to steal
the tender coconuts...
The moist events, he
recalls and repents.
Trucks and trains carry
goods. The boatman
lies back on the shore
like a remnant of the
twentieth century,
looking up at the vague
shapes and floating time.
