Take heed... and listen for a moment,
The devil tempts, so brethren please do
repent,
Satan turns the truth upside down to deceive
and misrepresent,
Your life has been bought...so it is not
for rent,
Don’t forget that time passed is forever
spent,
So why not live without dent,
Jesus, my refuge and mighty tent,
He turns a sinner into a complete saint,
The power of His love makes me wanna faint,
To save my soul He did not relent,
His death on the cross, God didn’t prevent,
Because my good is His ultimate intent,
To show gratitude, I will go to any length,
Not by my power or by my strength,
For my many sins He did not resent,
Rather, He gave me a chance to repent,
I grew up on the streets ... and not the (monastery
or) convent,
For now... my change may not be totally consistent,
But against all odds, in seeking you Lord...
I will remain persistent,
Until I hear your voice in my situation, I won’t
remain silent,
For what you did, I will forever be
content,
His love is of great depth and keeps me diligent,
For the edifice of genuine love, He holds
the patent,
He is always there like a good parent,
My bad past is past but His mercies are always
(new) current,
His blood washes me cleaner than any
detergent,
In my life, He has proved to be more than
competent,
My sinful lifestyle made His original plans
for my destiny latent,
Jesus, please take my life....you have my
consent,
Change my life and make it potent,
I will never again listen to the voice of
the serpent,
Because of my sins, away from your love I
went,
But like the prodigal son ...I had to
repent,
You are my life catalyst and my positive
change agent,
Even through storms of life, you keep me
resilient,
Master, at your word ...I am obedient,
The power of your might keeps me confident,
Your grace upon my life is obvious and
evident,
Your presence is awesome and magnificent,
The fruits of the Holy Spirit in my life
are becoming succulent,
Despite what you did on the cross for
mankind, some still remain insolent,
They disregarded all the warnings of the
prophets that you sent,
Sadly, they will be destroyed because they
chose to be disobedient,
To all men, repentance from sin should be
urgent,
He came for my freedom, not because it was
convenient,
He was Heaven sent......yet Hell bent,
To make me heaven’s permanent resident.
