By the Death of an Innocent

I never deserved it; it is so unfair;
Unwarranted outcome for a life of despair.
I should be condemnéd for error and sin,
My pathway was reckless and my record was thin.

I tallied the balance of my good deeds and bad,
And as I reflected it made my heart sad,
That my choices were foolish, my conscience was weak,
And the balance sheet showed that the outlook was bleak.

But one thing I trust when recounting my deeds,
A strange moment eternal, that fair justice impedes,
When a victim was murdered at Calvary,
An Innocent died for a sinner like me.

When the eternal day comes and time ceases to be,
The guilt will be covered, and all He will see,
Is what we did for the weak ones, so we did it for Him,
And the balance is settled, the lost can go in.
