His Great Love

At one time you were dead,
For your failure and sin;
So you followed instead,
Satan entered within.

You followed to embark,
Where Satan still does rule;
Through the ways of the dark,
Since you were just a fool.

We lived with those people,
That think it is a fraud,
And ignore the Gospel,
Turning away from God.

Such a corrupt nature,
With evil desire,
But as a new creature,
You have a new fire.

Fire as Spirit led,
And that is fueled by Christ,
The tint of crimson red,
From blood He sacrificed.

But we do not deserve,
With guilt on our face;
Though God threw us a curve,
To save us from disgrace.

We are what God has made,
Giving freedom to live;
Doing what He forbade,
But willing to forgive.
