30 Days Of Poetry Season 2, Day 26, Amazing Grace (pix Inside) by lyricalpontiff(m): 6:12pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
Sin and failure used to live within me here I've been spat on, ignored, brushed aside Words hardly tell the pains of the past Salvation found me in the shit pit of sin Amazing grace is the new song I sing The word of God sprouts on the loam of my heart Grace is a new slate, I write my life anew The sun rises from its fall, I'm like the sun Always rising from my many falls But who looks at my life today Doesn't see the scars and failures of old But who sees me now, sees a product of grace But who knew my rat chase of the past Will praise the strong fingers of God’s grace In the foolishness of my yesteryears My head was on the chopping board of guilt And in the wisdom of my sinful stupidity I was badly broken, beaten and battered In the sad times of my worldly days I always went to bed with my eyes wide open Witches ate my sleep, I only took it in sips Sometimes Satan builds a pyramid of conceit And we boast foolishly in our sheer ignorance But grace is a u-turn against the way to destruction Indeed, sin is an office of sharp thorns I count myself very lucky to ride on the wheels of grace I cannot tell all but lean on the pillars of salvation Grace is the river flowing deep within my life And grace is not sold in the marketplace It is buried in the fields of salvation As for me and my household We will serve the lord Amazing grace Peace
