Redemption
By: Erich Pacheco
Albuquerque, NM
Deceive
Adam Eve
Apple Knowledge Sin
Abel Cain Anger Slain
Flesh sex wickedness
Tongue tower
Become
Strings of sin are spun
Control given to the unforgiven one
He plays the puppeteer’s cross
Making you dance to share his loss
No conscience your soul he wins
Forever a marionette bound
By strings of sin
TURN AROUND
Truth
Hope
Husband wife kids
Brother sister wisdom live
Love happiness
Forfeit obey forgive
Humble
Strings of sin unravel
No longer judged by a man with a gavel
No longer a marionette dancing
Till death
Just an illustration of God’s mercy
To those who request
