There IS Forgiveness

Christian:

I've been a terrible Christian;

I've sinned against the Lord!

I want to give up everything;

Including reading the word.

Satan:

"You've been an awful person,

You've been stupid and unwise,

You're too bad to come to Jesus!"

Whispers Satan with his lies.

Christian:

Where will I find forgiveness

For everything I've done?

I know that God sent Jesus,

His only begotten Son.

Satan:

But surely you've been too wicked!

Even though you're born again,

Does God truly want to forgive

Vile and sinful men?

God answering the Christian:

You may have been a terrible Christian;

Yes, you've sinned against the Lord.

Remember who you are in Christ -

Come, turn and read the word!

God answering Satan:

My people may do awful things,

But I'm the Potter and they're the clay.

I am always working in their lives,

To purify them all one day.

God answering the Christian:

You will always find forgiveness

At the foot of the wooden cross,

Where Jesus took on all your sins

And cancelled out My wrath.

God answering Satan:

There are none too wicked

Who can find forgiveness there;

At the foot of the cruel cross

All their sins, Christ did bear

God to Christians:

So come, discouraged Christian,

Repent, and turn to Me!

Remember who you are in Christ,

You are His eternally!
