Temptations beckoned
I heard them call . . .
" Pleasures await you
Come, taste them all" ~

Voices that whisper'd
"Share our delights . . .
we will enchant all
your days and your nights" ~

WHY did I listen
oh, how could I follow . . .
into such degradation
in pig's sty to wallow? ~

Longing for Father
whose fortune I'd wasted . . .
and for HIS SPIRIT~FOOD
from youth I had tasted ~

Weary and beaten
I wonder' d if HE . . .
could ever forgive all
my gross treachery ~

OH, I'd left Father's
arms time & again . . .
only to borrow more
trouble & pain ~

Wearing these rags
of self~will on rampage . . .
Life's Book of regrets
tears smeared every page ~

Then I saw JESUS
Nail~pierced hands extend'd . . .
bidding me come back
where self~will is ended ~

Back to the Cross
where sin is erased . . .
Exchanging rebellion
for Mercy's replace ~

Oh, Hallelu Yah, praise God
sorrows passed . . .
FORGIVEN ~ Sweet Grace
Praise JESUS ~ Free At Last !
