A Better Way Of Life

I sat trembling as I listened,
To the words that were spoken to me,
It seemed I had broken all the rules,
So blinded I failed to see.

The power that had weakened me,
Led me on a sinful course,
For now I found myself frozen,
And reeling from great remorse.

Flashbacks of a life I had led,
Haunted the depth of my soul,
Laws that I recklessly squandered,
While acting out various roles.

This monster who had promised me,
That my life would be rich with fun,
Had taught me how to turn my back,
And how my Lord to shun.

Satan is the name that visited,
Stripping the love from my heart ,
Until God's presence granted me,
Forgiveness and a brand new start.

He told me that His love for us,
Will never bend or weaken,
And that forgiveness is always granted,
When we listen while He is speaking
