Everlasting Encounter

I remember a time not long ago.
I looked for a man I didn't know.
I found Christ.
He welcomed me and now we travel
throughout eternity.
I remember how I was lost and living in sin.
I stayed in a dark corner wanting light to come in.
When He entered that lonely place.
He reached out and touched me
and we embraced.
He was crying with thorns on His head.
His body was hurting and this is what He said.
You don't have to suffer for all that you've done.
I came to tell you the victory has been won.
Accept the forgiveness I offer you.
Then I fell on the floor and I said a prayer.
He lifted me up as He looked down.
Then in a moment his scars were all gone.
On his head was a glorious crown.
I looked at Jesus and saw perfect grace.
I saw a beautiful smile on His face.
