Painful past
Mistakes made
Can’t change
The path was laid
Ironclad grip
Pulling down
Crying out
In tears drowned
Spinning round
A sinking ship
Life’s a mess
Can’t get a grip
What if there
Was really a way
A gift for you
A completely clean slate
If you can get past
Prejudices made
Open your mind
The price was paid
Forget religion
Not what it’s about
Embrace the Truth
That will let you cry out
Forget the steeple
The Easter parade
Jesus is deep
It’s no charade
The blood He shed
Is no laughing matter
Such a shame He’s been treated
With a light hearted manner
Love so deep
Heart so good
He gave it for you
He shed His own blood
So you could have
Another chance
Get free from your past
Set free to dance
Dance a new life
Leave the old behind
Take hold of His hand
He will take off the blinds
That’s right it’s a kick
Jesus is the Way
You’ve heard it all along
Thought it was a cliche’
Don’t need to be religious
To talk to the One
That loves you so much
Had me write this sweet poem
So guess what precious one?
He’s waiting on you
To give a clean slate
Start your life brand new
