Pardoned Not Paroled

You were born in to sin
 
    You were living in prison

    You were waiting to face the judgment

    There came a visitor to your cell
    Who said,He paid your dept
    to set you free from burning in Hell

   You couldn't believe what you heard
   until He stepped into the light

   You saw a sight that caused a stir in your soul

   He wore a bloody crown of thorns on His head
   and nail prints in His hands and feet

   He had the keys to your cell dangling from His right hand

   You fell to your bed,you bowed your head
   and believed in what He had said

   He opened up the door to your cell and set you free

   You heard Him say,  " Go your way and sin no more
   For you have been pardoned not paroled"

I was pardoned right out of jail from Jesus Himself ... I know this write for I lived this write... He washed me clean as snow in His blood .... Saint by Him... sinner everyday by me.... He is mighty to forgive and mighty to save not cause we can live with out sin... cause of the better choices we make... Choose to love rather then hate Choose to give rather then steal Choose to praise rather then gossip.... Choose to heal rather then wound.... Choose to presaver rather then quit Choose to bless rather then curse.... Choose to live rather then die.... Lots of choices in this world so as we choose we either gain or lose...... I choose life and that life is His....... nice write thanks for the reminder from the doors I walked out of as a new human......... red
