redeemed

i raised my arms up to the sky, and, slowly as the clouds rolled by,
the tears streaked down and raindrops ran and blended with the blood on my hand.
the puddles formed beneath my feet, and all the angels began to weep.
my eyes were on heaven; His eyes were on me. i lost myself and fell to my knees.
then, down on my face and calling on Him, I begged that He take back all of my sin
let me go back; turn back the clock. i begged and i pleaded, "please God make it stop.
the pain of it all - is this how it feels - for the ones whom you love to deny your appeals?
i'm sorry i sinned and killed you again. God, please, oh please, take away all my sin!"
i need to start over. please give me that. i need a clean slate since i cannot go back.
the sunshine is covered by all of the clouds, and i'm still praying and crying out loud.
as the blood on the ground washed away with the rain, the clouds soon faded along with my pain.
my blood is covered by the blood that He gave, and i thanked God that even my soul could be saved.
i rose to my feet and raised my arms to the sky, as the sunshine beamed down and the scarlet turned white.
my eyes were dry and the puddles receded. all of my heartache and wounds had been treated.
He is the one who forgives everything, and taking it back was not as hard as it seemed.
