In a moment...

In a moment … the convict slave was led before the King who was his judge … and
In a moment …all could plainly see the chains that made him trudge
In a moment … obvious the scars of battle, from the life he lived before … and
In a moment … all could see his body wracked and broke from burdens that he bore
In a moment … anxiously they gathered … those who bore witness to his life and crime… and
In a moment … Death stared at him coldly for he knew the sentence… short was now his time
In a moment … he reflected, falling slowly to his knees and quietly accepted that death was now his fate …for
In a moment … he remembered with deep sadness …that he should have acted filled with love instead of hate
In a moment … of true repentance he knelt before his Judge, His God and King … and
In a moment … he begged for forgiveness as he confessed to everything … so,
In a moment… Death moved forward and was sure to strike the fatal blow … when
In a moment … a voice like many waters said “ this is someone that I know” … now
In a moment … a graceful gentle figure moved to speak to this man‘s plight … and
In a moment …all the room was still and quiet for His face was full of light … and
In a moment … He told how He’d already paid for this man’s folly, shame and strife …and
In a moment … He declared He’d paid the sentence …for the price was His own life… So,
In a moment … the one time convict slave to sin confessed, believed and now was spared …
In a moment …through the mercy, love and grace of the One True God who cared
In a moment …I once was like this convict slave with guilt and sorrows
In a moment … Jesus paid the price and gave me all tomorrows … so,
In a moment … hear my words and listen to advice … for
In a moment … already Jesus paid … and commuted death to life … so,
In a moment … for forgiveness fall on your knees and pray… for
In a moment … judgment happens … and no one … knows his day
