Folder:
Learning from the Past I pawned your love
because I didn’t believe
I was worth the price you paid.
I sold my value
to the lowest bidder
for mere pennies.
I loaned them my heart,
thinking I could get it back
in one piece.
But they broke it
so I exchanged it
for these carnal desires.
I became a hostage
to these cravings,
ransomed by the cost of sin.
I suffered a recession
because I let them use me
like a worthless chess piece.
But you made me priceless
by offering your life
as payment for my past.
You helped me move forward,
away from my former ways
and into the riches of your love.
