For JT...

Jesus today I thank you for a special man,
For which you had a divine and redeeming plan.
You reached down from heaven above,
And tore the blinders off his eyes to reveal your love.
He didnt see it coming so he didnt have time to fear,
All he could do was run toward you and draw near.
The all consuming redemption of the blood you shed,
This man now understands that without you he is dead.
From the ashes his life has emerged new,
His mind is open and he proclaims you are true.
Everyday he lays down his life for you his king,
He is free from sin and death and a new song he does sing.
No shame or guilt he has to carry any longer,
The Holy Spirit is alive in him and he grows stronger.
Looking back at the darkness he once dwelled within,
Gives him hope for the life he now lives freed from sin.
He continues now on his journey towards his savior,
There is so much that has changed about this man besides his behavior.
The spirit of God lives within him so deep,
Nothing but love and grace he will forever reap.
I hope you get to meet him,
Your chances of leaving unchanged is very slim.
