Poetry
You were dead for failure and sin,
You followed the ways of this place;
Leaving you decaying within,
Its ruler had given his grace.
This ruler continues to work,
On people who disobey God;
Most of whom acting like a jerk,
As they continue to be flawed.
Every one of us has known,
Lived among these kinds of people;
And through all their action as shown,
Not venturing to the temple.
They just follow their desires,
Derived from a corrupt nature;
But this action never acquires,
The free gift as a new creature.
We do what desire and thought,
Corruption would want us to do;
The darkness guides to what we sought,
No matter what we may construe.
So because of our nature,
Then we deserve the wrath of God;
Not becoming a new creature,
Since we are decaying where flawed.
But God rich in mercy and grace,
Because of having a great love;
Ready to forgive and embrace,
Each of us from His throne above.
We were dead because of failure,
But made us once again alive;
Along with Christ our Savior,
And expected soon to arrive.
We have a place God has given,
His generosity through Christ;
A position up in Heaven,
A gift through being sacrificed.
Through faith as an act of kindness,
Not a result what you have done;
Restoring sight from your blindness,
That the Father gave through His Son.
