A Life for a Life

All power and praise
Be only to God
Who over the shadow
Of my death hath trod

He gave up His blood
He was nailed to my tree
That the angel of death
Would Passover me

For the blood on my hands
Was the lamb crucified
For the exceedingly sinful
The sinless one died

For if judgment has justice
The guilty must pay
Or there can be no mercy
Only moral decay

There is only one verdict
To end all the strife
And a price has been paid
A life for a life

About Us

Central, Texas, United States
We are the Walters family. I am an office worker and my wife, Lora is my helper. We live in sunny, South Texas. We have both been Christians for over 20 years and love to share about God's Grace to us. Writing has been a hobby for me for about 27 years. The earliest three poems are The Road, The Wise Ass and Daybreak. I wrote them 27 years ago. I quit after that. I was released from prison and had to go back to work. What can I say? Jail is where I met the Savior. He was responsible for the inspiration. The state gave me time to write (That was 34 years ago, I haven't been back even one time since). I didn't pick up a pen for the next 33 years, until I started doing it again a year or so ago when my wife became ill and I had a lot of extra time on my hands while she was convalescing. Once I did a few articles and poems I was hooked and started working on the crazy story at the bottom of the list. I like that, but it's probably not very good, or at least needs a lot more work.
