Rescued

Submerged beneath the murky waters of sin
Entangled by deceit and unable to swim
Thrashing in panic, kicking and screaming
Fluids of destruction fill my lungs
Choking upon death, reality sets in
Evil grins as the flames of hell lick their lips
Fear unspeakable arises into my heart
My mind is dark
A flash of LIGHT envelops my soul
Arms of PEACE reach down from above
LOVE removes the shackles of bondage
FORGIVENESS resuscitates my spirit
PATIENCE and GENTLENESS hold my hands and raise me up
KINDNESS cleanses me with JOY
RIGHTEOUSNESS steps in and robes me in white
TRUTH enters, and sits upon the throne
GRACE begins to sing, and the others join in
"PRAISE, HONOR, AND GLORY TO THE KING"
I fall to my knees, forgiven of my sin
