[hometext] => One of my very few religious peoms... But it really isn't that bad...
[bodytext] => Who do you think you are; pray tell? Some great person? The ball’s belle? You occasionally lie, swears slip from your lip Your decisions can be faulty, especially when they turn against you, and then you trip How can you even try and defend yourself? Making excuses to everyone else “No one’s perfect,” you say. “Everyone makes mistakes,” From your mouth you spray Your soul is hideous The way transgressions spread within you is more than insidious Everyone can see that you’re covered in spots and stains That detestable sin pulsates throughout your veins Do you really think God loves a degenerate like you? Do you really believe that Christ loves you too? Because your offenses are many And well, your good deeds aren’t exactly of plenty But you know what? I know a little secret that’ll get you out of your rut It’s just the right thing for a person like you And it doesn’t matter if right up until now you never knew You can forget all your previous, and possibly shady dealings For no matter how much you act or seem like someone who’s depriving the world of the oxygen you’re stealing No matter if you make a thousand mistakes And no matter how many forbidden things you partake I know this someone who’ll forgive it all And you know what? He already has... Now that I recall… He’ll take you under his wing Along with all your indiscretions. Every little thing. And all you have to do is do your best to follow his rules I’m admitting they’re a bit tough because I know you’re no fool But trust me in saying that they’re definitely worth abiding And this guy, he knows all, so there’s no use for any attempts at hiding Though the best thing of all that most people adore Is that he already loves you and he will forever more In fact he loves you so much he’s already saved you at the expense of his life This man, he’s my best friend, and his name’s Jesus Christ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 11 [informant] => Dead_Next_Tuesday [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )
