"Then And Now!"
  by jerl


Drinking, winking, and smiling too,
Cussing, laughing, then thrilling you.
All day long and the night through,
Having fun, was all I wanted to do.

Seductive and sexy as I went along,
my heart always singing a blues song.
I already knew I was doing wrong,
being in places that I didn't belong.

Always taking men into my bed,
never, ever having to clear a head.
Then, when JESUS came into my life,
HE released me from all my strife.

While I am running this Christian race,
HE's paved my path with mercy and grace.
GOD loved me so, HE then saved my soul,
then sacrificed HIS SON, to make me whole.

Surely, you would not die just for me,
Can any one of you walk on the sea?
I am so glad that HE kept me around,
I am so happy to be heaven bound.

Well, this is no surprise...He did say that we would become "new creatures."...even a "peculiar people."--As I read this one, I thought of the song "A Change...a wonderful change has come over me..."

AWL! ME TOO FOR SURE! YOU PAINT A PICTURE OF ONE LIKE MY LIFE, WITH MANY A STRUGGLES I WENT THRU AND KEPT ON, LEARNING SO MANY VALUEABLE LIFE LESSONS, ON MY JOURNEY. IF I HAD TO DO IT AL OVER AGAIN, I WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THE LORD HAS PREPAIRED FOR ME! GOBLESS!

I respect you so much for this one, because we both know that people normally remember you for who you once were and when you become a Christian, they forget about the person that you are and is aiming to become. But I'm glad He opened your eyes to a better life. Stay blessed!
