Converted

 

 

Confused I was

There was no doubt,

As hard as I tried

I couldn’t figure it out.

 

But I showed a face

Full of confidence,

My life was a sham

In its truest essence.

 

 Confused I was

But only I knew,

Well, except for the Lord

That was true.

 

Convinced I was

When I heard God’s Word

Preached by someone

Who had not heard…

 

 But Spirit led that time

He ministered to me

Whereupon confusion left

And then I could see...

 

My sin, my wrong,

My every fault,

For a moment there

I felt quite distraught.

 

Convicted I was

And full of remorse,

I had been as stubborn

As an own way horse.

 

Then I was overcome

By a Godly sorrow

And on confessing my sin

Repentance followed.

 

 

I asked God to forgive me

For the sin I had done

And opened my heart

 To His precious Son.

 

Now, Converted I am

And that without a doubt,

I am so relieved

I feel I could shout.

 

Controlled I am

By the Holy Spirit

Ever since from Satan

I took my exit.

 

Configured I am

In my mind and my soul,

I am a new creation

Since I’ve been made whole.

 

Contented I am

With Jesus my Saviour.

I give God praise

For His Divine favour.

 

Composed I am

And truly confident in Him

Thank God Almighty

I am delivered from sin!
