A Prayer to Abba
Gasping for air you placed yourself on those beams
Your blood flowing down in thick streams
Hatred in their eyes, the Romans seized their rusty tools
Braking through your skin, creating red pools
And as you were abused
The sky grew dark
And all were confused
When they heard your remark
"Abba, oh Abba
Please forgive their iniquities
Place their sins on my shoulders
As you turn you gaze from me"
Twenty centries later I grabbed some nails of my own
Hoping so satisfy my thirsty soul
Pain surged and blood flowed and yet I still wanted more
Although I got so sick from such gore
And as you where abused
The sky grew dark
And I was confused
When I heard your remark
"Abba, oh Abba
Please forgive his iniquities
Place his sins on my shoulders
As you turn your gaze from me"
With a guilty soul, I dropped down to my trembling knees
Doubting that you’d even hear my plea
I tried to hide my face with my blood stained hands
But there was no escape from the Lord of all lands
Then I fell at your feet
Like a dirty beggar
I wanted to be free
So made a prayer
“Father, oh, Father
Please forgive my iniquities
Take this burden from my shoulders
As you turn your gaze towards me”

well, from a kid who almost got kicked out o school 3 years in a row and sent to a bording school b/c my parents couln't get me to behave, yeah it changed me a lot. i was getting into a lot of stuff that i shouldn't have been in. i mean, i still get into trouble (like, all the time), but its for little struff and i don't get in trouble nearly as much as i used to. and i have changed the things that i do to try and please God. it may sound kinda cheezy, but thats how it is. at lest now i know what will happen to me when i die.
