I have smelt the rotten odor,
that living in sin brings
I’ve taken a whiff of lust
among other disgusting things.
I’ve bathed in the perfume,
of the riches of this world
I’ve sniffed around in greed
and gave decadence a whirl.
I’ve reeked of self-assurance,
on my destructive path
I’ve walked along the highway
that only leads to God’s wrath.
I was on the road to hell,
until the truth came my way
then I heard Jesus loved me
how He died for me one day.
The sweet aroma of these words,
brought me to my senses
soon I was convicted
of all my deadly offenses.
Now the fragrance of His grace,
is all that I can smell . . .
since the essence of His Spirit
in my heart, has come to dwell!

Hebrews 9:14
King James Version
“How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God?”
