Worthless and poor
naked
and shamed
it hides.
~.~
Nowhere
before the Lord
can poor old soul
run.
~.~
He knew the cost
of
sin
and all its pleasures.
~.~
However
poor old soul
had run his race
the schoolmaster
had
discovered him.
~.~
He administered his rule.
~.~
Poor old soul could do nothing
but
admit
he had been a fool.
Christ spoke
to poor old soul
of
another life.
~.~
Soul
could choose
to go the other way.
~.~
Jesus revealed
a love
so
divine
poor old soul
could not decline.
~.~
Washed and cleansed
from
his sorry state
soul grew
bold
and
full
of
grace.
~.~
Look at poor old soul now
he gleams
old soul
was
purchased
by
Christ.
~.~
Old soul is now new.
~.~
You see
old soul was
a slave
with
a
master cruel.
~.~
Jesus made soul a master
in his palace
soul was comforted.
~.~
Never before
did
soul have any privilege
never again
would
poor old soul
be
lost.
~.~
For poor old soul
was now found
he was washed
and cleansed
in the blood
of
a
friend.
