Christian poem 'I AM CHANGED' by Jayne Hogge (Christart.com)

I AM CHANGED
by Jayne Hogge © 2008

I was caught out and accosted
Bound up and arrested
Accused and convicted
Guilty and restricted.

All Rise! All Rise!
Judge Jesus Presides
All Rise! All Rise!

What is your name?
My name is,
unplanned, ashamed,
hopeless, purposeless,
In one word - SINNER

You are free, Go and sin no more

For I was:
Sorrowful for your rejoicing
Rejected for your accepting
Separated for your uniting
Bruised for your healing
Bled for your cleansing
Sinful for your forgiving
Died for your rising
Risen for your adopting

Jesus changed my identity
Gave me back my sanity
Revealed to me my destiny
Promised me eternity

I am changed
