Wonderful Thing

Every sin was a teardrop    
That sat on my cheek    
Loneliness    
Saddened me    
Week after week    
My heart was frozen    
In a silver thaw    
I felt every emotion    
That was open and raw    
Then one day    
As I wallowed in grief    
Something occurred to me    
That brought me relief    
Why should I sit here    
Lamenting my past    
My sins are forgiven  
From my first to my last  
Hope started growing    
Like a flower in spring    
I danced in my kitchen    
I started to sing    
Thanking the Lord    
For this    
Wonderful thing
