From the Poem: Cleansed

Rescued ~

He came with a tender heart,
extended a loving hand
from my own misery
He helped me up to stand.

He saw that I was lost,
how my life lacked direction
He knew in the darkness
I couldn’t see the separation.

I was soiled, I was stained,
with the grime of my sin
He knew that I needed
to be cleansed from within.

He shined His light on me,
broke through the hard crust
showed me how much I needed
in Him, to believe and trust.

He was the voice of hope,
His promises I could hear
to His voice I listened
till He took away my fear.

He came with a tender heart,
rescued me with His loving hand
He gave me the gift of grace
now by faith ~ I firmly stand!

Isaiah 41:10
King James Version

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed;
for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with
the right hand of my righteousness.”

Washed!

I praise You Lord  Jesus,
I praise Your name
since I met You . . .
I’m just not the same.

You opened the door,
invited me in . . .
now I am washed
cleansed from my sin.

You took this offender,
showed me my shame
then You forgave me
wiped away the blame.

Now I am whole,
now I am complete
oh, how  I know . . .
we were meant to meet.

I praise You Lord  Jesus,
I praise Your name
it’s because of Your grace
I am just not the same!

1 Corinthians 6:11
King James Version

“And such were some of you:
but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God.”

Cleansed ~

Forgiveness divine,
repent and receive
the beauty of grace
when you believe.

Bathe in His mercy,
soak up His fullness
plunge yourself into
all of His goodness.

Washed of your sins,
released from the shame
when you trust Jesus
nothing ever is the same.

Healing compassion,
immersion of love
blood of our Savior
God’s gift from above.

Forgiveness divine,
today is the day
God’s mercy and grace
are just one prayer away!

1 John 1:9

and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
