SPIRITUAL
DEATH ROW
|
|
My life was on trial in the
highest court
With no need for me to be sworn;
I was being tried by The Sovereign
God,
Even though I was yet to be
born.
In His foreknowledge I was
convicted,
and still hadn’t taken
a breath;
Eternal death I received as
my sentence,
"For the wages
of sin is death."
His foreknowledge then became
history;
I was born on spiritual death
row;
A prisoner of an inherited
sin nature
and of sins I was yet to know.
As time passed my sins came
true;
A desperate situation
I was in.
I needed someone to die in
my place,
But he had to be free of sin.
My desperation turned to depression,
I discovered the impossible
odds;
The Bible says,
"For all have sinned
and
fall short of the glory of God."
My only hope, a miracle of
the triune God
If my sins were to be
erased;
An incredible gift of absolute
love,
Unbelievable mercy and grace.
With joy, I found it had been
fulfilled
God The Son had died for me,
and by calling upon His name
in faith,
Then I could be set free!
In repentance I called upon
Jesus
and know that my sentence was
waived;
For
"Whoever shall call on the name
Of
the Lord shall be eternally saved."
“For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has
set
you free from the law of sin and of death.”
Romans
8:2 (NASB)
