Analysis of Not My Testimony



Why,
I have come here for testimony
Good has been done for me.

You see my friend, my testimony
isn't even about me,
such as body, sex and money.
I am forgiven.

He forgave me,
my friend,
The Forgiver
forgave mine sin.

There is a Forgiver,
you have to know.

If you say:
There is no sin
(to mean there exists no Forgiver)
what a horrible thing to utter.

While all you need to say is:
Lord, forgive me.
So, I am forgiven.
For Two sides of a coin.

Horrible, terrible,
Horrific  sort of man,
Like me?
Whatever sort of man you were
It doesn't bother The Forgiver.

In fact, the horribler you are,
The closer to forgiveness* you  are.

Better be perfect-horrible-forgiven go heaven
Than decent-noble going -not to heaven.

Good Heaven,
receiving Mercy is more thrilling than
catching an old particle.

Happy or angry with mine testimony,
Nothing to do with me.
