Poem: FORGIVEN

Lord, I don't deserve it, yet you took it upon yourself,
to take away my poverty, and trade it for your wealth.
It cost you everything. You gave it all for me.
And then you took my sins and nailed them to that tree.
I don't think I have told you how much it means to me.
I treasure I'm forgiven for all eternity!

Quote from Scripture:
"Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away
my sins! Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!" Psalm 51:1-2

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the flower leaves on the heel of the one who crushed it. Mark Twain

The crystal in the cross represents that we are purified and our sins are washed away because Jesus
forgives us when we come to him with a repentant heart!
