These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

English Sonnet: "Redemption"

The sinful life we all were born to live
is full of self. The end is really bad.
Th'ability to serve, and love, and give
is given when The Lord becomes our Dad.

Redemption is not of one thing I do,
but of the things, that Jesus for me did.
He paid my debt, and now it's ever through.
He lived for me perfection. Now, I'm bid.

I'm kept redeemed by He, Who mercy shows.
I, now, may rest for I am in His Hands.
My name is written from the first He knows.
He's called me by His everlasting Plans.

Are others called to live Salvation's Bliss?
Indeed, elect are ones, who live like this.
