Deep are the Stains

Nick Gonzales

The tears have subsided but the pain remains,
dark are the thoughts and deep are the stains.
Fear devours the light of the day,
Pain envelopes any destroys any hope that may stray.
But deeper than red and lighter than white,
there laid Truth and all its might!
I am forgiven and made a new,
washed as snow through and through.
I can not change what I have done or where I have been,
I am simply thankful to be cleansed of my sin.
So head held high I will endure to the end,
Knowing Jesus is my savior and my one true friend.
