My Journey to God

What Have I Done?

The storm clouds roll in,
Darkness covers the land.
Thunder peals and lightning flashes,
God is showing His mighty hand.

The Earth shakes as time stands still.
I’m on Calvary once again,
I shudder as the scene unfolds,
Jesus is crucified for my sins.

His words ring in my ears,
I hear him say, “It is finished.”
Is this the end? Do I understand,
As darkness covers the land?

My head bows with deep regret.
I’m sorry for my part in this,
I know that he has died for me,
And that his love has set me free.
