These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

My Sin Has Been Crossed off God’s List

The palms are strewn along the way
to bless the Lord of love.
His Victory is true today.
His Throne is up Above.

My sin, though heavy, is crossed off
by what the Lord has done.
His cross erases all I lost
as by His Vict’ry won.

I lived in shame those years ago.
Was wrong this very week.
I wish my memory’d let me go,
restored to friendships seek.

The Savior of one Calvary’s cross
was shamed without a sin.
He crossed my sin off the list of loss.
Forever, now, I win.

He crossed my sin off debtor’s list
to make me His dear son.
Forever in His arms is bliss.
Fore’er His Vict’ry’s won.
