TO SIN AGAIN
With some of us
Maybe not all of us
God gives us time
To sin and then
To sin again
Like the tortoise and the hare
Some of our sins occur rapidly
But, for most of us, we plod along
Tortoise like, as our sins accumulate
Over time
But, to God, a sin is a sin, is a sin
And in the end, He asks of each of us
Where have you been
What have you done
Is there no escape, O Lord
Is there no respite
For those who have fought
The good fight and lost
Came up short and found it
Not enough
O my son, and daughters, too
I sent my Son to earth
To live and die just for you
He is your way, your hope,
And your eternal salvation
He beckons to you even now
Even though the hour is late
And too many days are through
Come back home he cries
Come back home to me
And I will take you to our Father
And he shall welcome you home
With a glad heart,
He shall welcome you
Home
