I Realized

I looked toward the cross and then my hand, there was a hammer there,
Looking at Jesus hanging on that cross, realizing all my sins He came to bear,
With tears in my eyes I knew then, it was as if I had driven the nails,
I now understand this birth of salvation, the way to keep me out of hell,
I will never ever experience pain, like my Lord experienced pain,
Now every time I fail Him, I have to hang my head in shame,
For living like I used to live, is not something that needs to be repeated,
But I need to live my life in the reality, that the devil has been defeated,
Yet there are days I do not accomplish, what God's will is for me,
Still I pray everyday that my faith grows, so I become all He wants me to be,
I study God's Word to be nourished, so that my soul will thrive,
May the whole world know the cross wasn't the end, my Savior is alive.
