The Shame Poem by Dave Dullum

I feel so ashamed when I think of what could have been;
My life is something I should have been proud of, not washed in sin;
Even though I didn't understand, I still feel the shame;
I know now that I am not to blame;
With Christ in may life I know that He will sweep away the past and replace it with love;
The shame I feel is mine to keep, but instead I give it to God to be set free like the Dove;
Jesus is whom God gave to us, to set us free;
Look on the past as something that is part of you, not something that you need.
