Redemption by patricia guinn A tortured man bent down by shame Sin running down his sleeve Guilt pours out from every pore For much he has to grieve A self-indulgent path he's walked Not thinking of tomorrow He's kept his eyes upon himself No thoughts of earthly sorrow He has let his own desires Paint the picture he wanted to see He made his world so fine and bright He was blinded from true destiny But in the end his soul must turn And see the road he's paved Not shining gold, but twisted roots No throne, just a simple grave This tortured man now stands alone Not knowing where to go How could anyone want him now To satan he's sold his soul Then in the distant darkness He hears a soothing voice A Shepard calling for lost sheep He's given one more choice Another soul redeemed by God What a great and glorious thing One more cracked and broken heart That with His love shall sing Because our Heavenly Father knows That the greater a sinners story Is just more proof to all who look Of the power of His Glory How great that One so perfect Will forgive this sinful man No longer bent by winds of fate Standing tall in God's Healing Hands |
