I read a lot and I'm scared and confused.
Born in sin, cheated and abused.
I'm feeling low and in so much trouble.
I drop to my knees and pray double.
I know that he is real and listens to prayer.
I'm such a terrible sinner, do I even dare?

I know he forgives if we ask.
But I cannot remove this insidious mask.
I hope and I pray that I can be so bold.
My heart remains frigid and cold.
I look around and hope I can see.
God smiling, taking pity on me.

I know I'm a sinner with no hope of my own.
God's love, a vision he's shown.
God is there, eternity for the taking.
Just make sure, it's the right decision you're making.
It's up to you, you never can tell.
Don't risk you're soul, you may end up in Hell.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
