Leave ruin behind by Kathryn Search, and Richard Steiner

Your life is troubled, yes feels quite wrong, the battle within has dogged you so long, yes internal strife is miserable to bear, but to give up what you love, is hard so hard to bear… You kick hard the pricks, O this you must know, as long as they prick, you are not alone, , but if the guilt fades, if it just goes away, then you should fall on your knees, and cry out today, for you are ever so close, to no longer hear, then my friend, you have something to fear! For if we hang on to sin, we shall not win, but will hear as we weep, depart from me, for I never knew you…never knew … never … knew… O the danger, yes the danger you are in, when the Holy Spirit concedes, gives iniquity the win, the guilt may lessen, or go completely away, then ruin is yours, and the sin will stay! But friend there is hope, still there is time, tell Jesus you’re weak, that you’ve crossed the line, gave into sin, then surrender to Jesus, give him that old guilt, Be washed in his blood, be cleansed of all filth! Then thank him, my friend, tell Him in thee will I trust, forget those old sins, be it pride or gluttony or lust … Then stand and face life, forget worry and strife, rest on His promise, to give you new life! Then shed those burdens, you have carried so long, stand close now to Jesus, and take up the cross! I won’t promise just sunshine, Oh that wouldn't be true, for Satan the Dragon, will be angry at you, but without those sins, eating at you, you can call upon Jesus, and that devil will flee, for you are a shall be ever guilt free! Then thank God for the victory, and leave ruin behind, Take up the Lord’s banner, and leave trouble behind! For you are His Child, He is your Friend, and Jesus will be with you, all the way to the End! Amen, Amen, Hallelujah, Amen!
