PSALM OF A FORMER INMATE
By
Christian Belyea
Almighty Judge, Your law of love
And precepts are just perfect;
Your commandments aren’t so cumbersome;
Righteousness is Your verdict!
I was on death row as I should’ve been,
But I appealed my case to You,
Who commuted my sentence of death
To a life sentence spent with You…
Yes, my sins were as a prison cell,
And I was the inmate in it,
But You busted me out of the pen of perdition,
And there was nothing for You in it…
And now I’m on the Lamb who keeps me safe
From that devilish warden named Satan…
I now know the truth that sets souls free:
From You I received a pardon!
You sat in judgment for my crimes…
You even wore a crown,
But by Your decree, You took the sentence from me
When Your gavel of grace came down…
Yes, I did the crime, but Your Son did the time,
And now I am a free man…
Oh, who is like You, Almighty Judge,
So caring, concerned, and kind?
So, thank You for my walking papers,
And that I ain’t out on parole…
Yes, You have made me into a free man now:
I will never spend time in the hole…
There’s no one like You, O Judge Divine,
Who didn’t think twice about it,
Who set me free to abide in Thee
Instead of making me do a life bit…
Yes, a life bit spent in the horrors of hell,
With death as my steady accomplice,
So much misery and dying despair,
An eternity that knows no bliss!
Yes, I smiled and there was joy in my heart
When You rendered Your verdict on me…
Oh, how happy a man I was
When the Judge let me off scot-free!!!
