The Freedom of the Un-Condemned

What will others have to say
When they hear you've left this place?
What memories will flood their minds
And mark the place you filled in time?
Were you a friend to friendly men
A light, when their way grew dim?
Did you remain when others had gone
Or were you spent on "self," - alone?
And what has grown of seed you've sown
Were you loved, or despised, at home?
These are thoughts to think about
And if they cause concern or doubt
Go to God in private prayer
And He will meet you half way there
Then in some dark and quiet place
Find forgiveness and His grace
And He'll lead you to a pleasant path
By running streams and cool, green grass
And discover, as you walk with Him
- The freedom of the un-condemned.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1
