From Trash to Treasure
by Patricia Joan Polhans

I was once a sinner
full of evil and sin,
Adult'ry I'd committed
time and time again.

Alcohol and drugs were
important in my life.
Why, I'd even committed
sins against my wife.

I was an evil sinner,
brawler and slanderer.
Everything that I tried
I'd become a failure.

Then Jesus came to me
and gently took me in,
Washed away the darkness,
purified me from my sin.

He washed away the evil
'twas present in my life,
Restored the relationship
between me and my wife.

Now my lips speak blessings
my mouth does not ever curse
For in me lives a Savior
that has given me new birth.

Some looked at me as worthless
But I was God's perfect pleasure.
When he turned me from trash
into a valued treasure.
