I did nothing to gain God’s Favor, while living out a life of sin, <br />But, to me He sent The Savior, changing my heart deep within. <br />God changed my life’s behavior, and now my life I give to Him, <br />And though my heart may waver, His Holy Spirit remains within. <br /> <br />For my sins, as dark as night, God had sent for me a sacrifice, <br />God made my sins snowy white, by the blood of Jesus Christ. <br />Moving me from wrong to right, when for me He paid the price, <br />Which lead me into His Light, from my darkness, into New Life. <br /> <br />It wasn’t me who sought the face, of The God in Heaven above, <br />Instead, it was all of Grace, when He poured on me all His Love. <br />It was me, who God embraced; as God I wasn’t even thinking of, <br />Yet my sins God would erase, through Jesus and Calvary’s love. <br /> <br />It was God, who loved me first, for God moved upon my heart, <br />God had saved me at my worst, allowing me a brand new start. <br />While living in a world accursed, He helps me from sin to depart, <br />My course in life God reversed, with His Spirit, now in my heart. <br /> <br />I’ll never know, just how and why, I was favored by God on High, <br />But with His Favor I want to be, God’s witness so that all can see, <br />The Love God showed in His Son, who died for me and everyone, <br />So they can come to the place, where they too, accept His Grace. <br /> <br />(04/2007)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-favor/
