Another more personal peom, but I hope that you all enjoy it! 🙂

Thank You for Forgiving Me

Once my life was wasted with lust, aslant in a downward slide
Once I lived like a spiritual prostitute
Once I thought myself to be rich, arrayed with the robes of pride
When I was really blind, naked, destitute

Once I knew how great was my sin, I bowed down and hid my face
Then He came as a Savior pure and took my place
Once He died to wash away shame and sins so great and disgrace
Then He called me, betrothed me, clothed me with His grace
As I clung to His scarred hand I whispered to Him
“Thank you for forgiving me”

When you give your heart away, only one should get the gift.
Once I let it loose, set my affections adrift
But now it belongs to One. Only One has it to hold
He’s my Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. His love’s untold.
May my heart cleave unto Jesus’ love for all of my days
And “Thank you for forgiving me” be all my praise

Now I kneel at His feet to pray, seeking a glimpse of His face
Often longing to lay my head over His heart
How I long to be held in strong arms, His unfailing embrace
Oh, if I could be there, I would never depart!

Often I realize that my eyes are still straying to things
That aren’t under the guiding shadow of His wings
Often I remind myself that nothing on earth can compare
And turn my eyes from chasing dreams that can ensnare
And on Jesus again, this my penitent prayer
“Thank you for forgiving me.”

When you give your heart away, only one should get the gift.
Once I let it loose, set my affections adrift
But now it belongs to One. Only One has it to hold
He’s my Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. His love’s untold.
May my heart cleave unto Jesus’ love for all of my days
And “Thank you for forgiving me” be all my praise

When I stand before my Lover at the wedding divine
When I see the One who suffered to set me free
When I gaze into His eyes, tears will be streaming from mine
And I’ll whisper, “Thank you for forgiving me”

When He wipes away those tears, I will never cry anymore
At His throne I’ll praise His name. Him I will adore
When He says to me, “Enter into my joy abundant
For thou hast done well, thou good and faithful servant,”
My anthem eternally “Thank you for forgiving me!”

When you give your heart away, only one should get the gift.
Once I let it loose, set my affections adrift
But now it belongs to One. Only One has it to hold
He’s my Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. His love’s untold.
May my heart cleave unto Jesus’ love for all of my days
And “Thank you for forgiving me” be all my praise
