Falling once more to Satan’s charms
To loathsome flesh desire
I felt the passion in those arms
Dowsing life’s healing Fire
Throughout my body feeling numb
So much I now regret
How filthy, loathsome, I’d become
Never will I forget
Burning my clothes, I washed myself
Dirty; I felt so cheap
My dusty bible off the shelf
I read, until asleep
When dreamless, next morning waking
Knowing how wrong I’d been
It seemed my bedroom was shaking
Thinking what could it mean?
Throwing myself upon my face
Forgiveness, I sought and sought
Crying, weeping, hoping for grace
And not from what I ought
No more foolish, no more deceived
How much, my God I cried
Praying through You I once believed
On Heaven’s Wind to ride
Your Lamb, Your Son, I’d forsaken
Leaving life’s narrow path
Till seeing the road I’d taken
Would end in endless wrath
How long, so much, I’d been sinning
Leavening the path of light
Yet through grace, through Christ, I’m winning
Life’s crown and robe of white.....
