Dead to God - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

If I were judged by my life
my days in the book of days
I would be dead to God
wallowing in the stench
the stain of my sin
damned to the pit
the fiery furnace

Only your grace
offered freely, given
washing me clean
by the blood of Christ
able, surely, with confidence
to come before my maker
made worthy by the lamb
