Pardoned Not Paroled

You were born in to sin      You were living in prison
You were waiting to face the judgment
There came a visitor to your cell    Who said,He paid your dept    to set you free from burning in Hell
You couldn't believe what you heard   until He stepped into the light
You saw a sight that caused a stir in your soul
He wore a bloody crown of thorns on His head   and nail prints in His hands and feet
He had the keys to your cell dangling from His right hand
You fell to your bed,you bowed your head   and believed in what He had said
He opened up the door to your cell and set you free
You heard Him say,  " Go your way and sin no more   For you have been pardoned not paroled"
