"So Great A Salvation"

[PraisingHimAlways]

Note: You know, God works in amazing ways, and just as I was about ready to write a poem concerning 'destiny' I felt encouraged to look through poems I'd already written - and this one I don't think I ever posted. I'd forgotten completely about it...this poem says it all for me; there's nothing I could possibly add...

“So Great A Salvation”

What I once valued so dearly in life
Just a rotting, sad pile of trash now
Chasing after all the wrong things
Hoping to find happiness somehow
Many tries, many disappointments
My answer was in front of my face
But I couldn’t see it; I was so blind
Inside, a war for control took place
Finally I gave in, I cried out to Jesus
I told him I knew my life was a mess
Within me the struggle came to a halt
I asked to be forgiven, sins I confessed
It was a day that changed my destiny
No longer did I look over my shoulder
A nagging fear that I was going to die
Danger lurking around every corner
Freedom I have in so great a salvation
I know I’m not guaranteed tomorrow
My Lord gave His life as my propitiation
So in death, the grave holds no sorrow
