As I Lay Dying

Folder: 
Society

I lived a life drenched in sin,

a filthy rag

You could never forgive.



I soaked in my evil ways

like a sponge

You could never rinse clean.



Lying on my deathbed,

I realized You freed me

before I knew I was captive.



Your grace was enough

to cover the grimiest sinner

and make him new.



I lived a life drenched in sin,

and I lit on fire

the oil-saturated cloth.



These lungs filled with smoke

as I breathed

my last wicked breath.



With that final gasp,

You clasped my hand

and took my home.
