The Blood Is Still There

By Whisper Mckee

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Down on my knees, I cry Father I've sinned. What will it take, For you to bring me back in. Tears rolling down, I cry, it's you that I need. I know I've been wayward, Not your voice did I heed. The answer is simple, Haven't you heard, It's in my book, Strengthened by my word. On a cross long ago, All sins were there laid, I tell you your sins are forgiven, The price has been paid. By one without sin, Of one who does love, The price of your sins, Has been bought by his blood. That was long ago, Lord, Sometimes I wonder if you care, Yes, my dear child, The blood is still there.
