[Poem] In Him, I am new

You were there from the start
Long before the big sea part
The sun You made above so bright
For paths that once not under the light.

First couple, the first parents
Whom You did not give Eden for rent
Nor lease for a year or two
But a lifetime of greatness to them is due.

Til the bite so infamous was heard
Across paradise as he left behind his herd
How quickly they forget the one command
Not to eat from that one tree of the land.

Fallen short of Your glory
Be it today or the first of God's fury
Who will wash our sins away
That started so far from the scene of today?

Obedience in the heart of The Son
That suffered and said "It is done!"
As finished work to once prophesied
Came to earth for us and died.

I am now as white as snow
Washed clean by The Blood that flowed
As His body lashed to bleed and wound
Reconciles The Father and our lives once doomed.

I am free in You
A life of freedom I never knew
His promise came with You Calvary
Eternal life with Him and a life of victory.
