It's a Wonderful Life

Frost on the windows glistening in the sun,
A new day born, new victories to be won.
The fire rages within; the passion of the day,
His strength supports, His word guides my way.

The trials that I may face matters not at all,
For I follow His commands and heed His call.
From deep within He speaks and I must obey,
He is my life, my breath my answer when I pray.

Wicked and dark my sins far too great to say,
A slave to a selfish self, my debt too high to pay.
Then I cried out and He heard my mournful plea,
And in His loving mercy He came to rescue me.

The wonders of His love shook me to the core,
For it was by His own blood my sins are no more.
With His suffering and death my debt was paid,
a new life came from the grave where He laid.

A new day reigns, no more under sins heavy load.
My life is mine no more, because to Him it is owed.
He provides for my needs that I may tell His story,
That my very life may reflect His wondrous glory.
