I turned my back
on Jesus-
So He turned
his back,
On me.
And when He turned,
m y soul burned with guilt-
For my eyes saw
the scars
that He bared,
And the pain of
mine,
t hat He shared,
And I saw the days,
When I gave up,
b ut He still cared,
And showed me
that
My suffering was not unfair,
presented through these scars,
These scars inflicted
when He took credit,
credit for
my sins,
and co-signed
with God,
To give
me a chance,
a chance at life again.
