A New Creation

A subtly aching sin Submerged beneath the skin Its origin is long forgotten But its embers burn within If left untamed it grows Its prey suff’ring the blows A heart that just can’t heal Always trying not to feel Its only hope the truest love A love descended from above, Which shines through those who claim its power To heal the wounds of darkest hours And when the love shines in It penetrates the sin Renewing through and through So Christ lives on in you The old man gone, you’re born anew You’re blameless before God; it’s true All the cracks have been filled in More perfect than you’ve ever been
