I've Been Redeemed


I've Been Redeemed

I've been redeemed by my merciful lord 
he has release me from this evil patch of 
thorns . 
My heart couldn't take no more of this 
Ungrateful world , 
My heart of mine was packed with sin  
Of my painful life , 
My head and my heart was cold as Ice  
But now I have been redeemed with the  
Blood of Christ , 
I was in tangled in evil and strife, but my 
Merciful lord cleansed me and gave me a new  
start in my life and he gave me a new meaning 
To his love ,I've been redeemed and I was set clean 
And I even got to learn God's name . 
I've started reading my Bible day and night and taken  
Down all that was night right in my life , 
All my old friends started calling me names . 
And the on call of old flames , 
I called out on God's name and he gave me power  
To walk to the high Tower of his love , 
He is my king who could ever hurt me if God is with me , 
I been redeemed , I have been washed clean . 
I don't care what this cold world has to say  
I never want to look back on what was in my past  
Because it has been washed away by my Lord Jesus  
Who died for me , Who died for his people .  
The lord is the only way to live an upright life, 
He gave me hope , He gave me freedom and thought  
Me who his Father is , 
God has a name , His name is Jehovah the most high 
I've been redeemed by my merciful lord, and a wonderful 
God ,now the angels above will cheer with trumpets 
And horns, while the wicked below now consider me 
An abomination. 
The path of righteousness , to better day's .  
I've been redeemed by my merciful lord, 
I give him thanks, I give him praise, for saving me with  
His blood , And letting me know his Fathers name I  
Dearly love . God has shown me his steadfast love and compassion, 
For all he has call'ed his own . 
This cold world of darkness don't have anything for me , 
I have been washed clean .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
