Remedy for Sin


Even the word brings people pain
Feeling guilty for messing up again
Is doing good deeds the solution?
There must be a way of restitution

How does sin come about anyway?
What can you do to make it go away?
Perhaps, you think by obeying the Law
Then you will overcome your flaws

In a society that focuses on you and me
It is hard to understand and clearly see
That doing good deeds will never pay
For the bad things that you do each day

There are things in life you cannot change
Your genetics, family background, and age
Sin is a part of us the moment we are born
God provided a way to escape all the scorn

My friend, you see, sin has only one remedy
Jesus came to earth, the cross as His destiny
His purpose was to fulfill God's divine plan
He gave His life to pay the penalty for man

But there is more to this great and true story
Jesus is not dead, He rose again in victory
Without His resurrection, there is no hope
What is the answer, how can anyone cope?

The solution is found when you realize
You are a sinner, guilty in God's eyes
By faith, believe Jesus died for your sin
Through His blood, He cleanses within

It is an inner voice that reveals truth to you
Now you have a choice in what you will do
Accept His free gift, you have eternal hope
Reject His offer, your life hangs by a rope

How will you respond to Him today?
Are you ready for the Judgment Day?
Will you spend eternity in heaven or hell?
Not sure?  Find out where you will dwell
