Grace Poem by Jacque Hardison

When I was seeking for you
I could not even lift my eyes up
Nor even reach out my hands
All I felt was hopeless and in need

In the darkest days
I destroyed the towns of the innocent
Lied and cheated on my loved ones
Had much of my pride and lust exposed

Then you came to me
Saw me covered up with filth
Without even opening up my mouth
You knew what evil deeds I had done

I am so sorry for what actions I had committed
With my heart pounding and thoughts racing
Towards you I had stabbed you in the back
For that, lynch me for my wicked ways

However, you forgave me
You showed me grace
Even though I deserve punishment
You granted me a gift of a another chance

I am lost for words
How can this be
This forgiveness is undeserved
However I am filled with joy

In your mercy you gave me a new life
With this opportunity
I will change my ways to be a better person
And to tell others about your love and grace
