A parking lot of Sinners

As I pull up to the entry
your morning sun beams in
my car upon my face
and warms my heart within

breathing in this fresh new day
I glance in the mirror to see
my smiling reflection
because of what God has become to me

See, I'm no different from
the people in this place
a parking lot of sinners
saved by grace

Redeemed is what we are
by the Blood of the Jesus
a sinner who's debt is paid
paid in full, no fuss

yep, you got it right
I am a sinner
a sinner redeemed
come to our pot-lock dinner

Come and you will see,
that i'm no different than you
a sinner I am
but have been made anew!

Come dine with us sinners
sinners redeemed
we have good cassarole
even moreso ...bread of life is what you need.

Understand there are no holier-than-thous
by own effort sinners at best
Recieve His love, be redeemed,
a sinner redeemed, and will find rest.

I get out of my car,
YOUR warmth joys my soul
I open the door to the building
a bunch of sinners sitting in a row

I smile at them,
They smile at me
we know we are all sinners,
but we know we've been set free

We sing a song of redeeming love
That came from God's Son
I look around the room full of sinners
beaming joy; singing of redemtion

We finish our time of encouragement
our time of digging in HIS words he left us
disperse to our cars
and kids run to the church bus

I shut my car door, breath in
turn the key to my car and smile
of my time with these sinners
saved by grace, and all the while

....there are other parking lots of sinners
...maybe not all sinners redeemed
...I a sinner go to Wal-Mart
...and I see
...a parking lot of sinners
---some redeemed
...but what about the sinner who doesn't know..
they don't know that what this sinner (ME) has found is hope.
... so I must go and share this hope to other sinners JUST LIKE ME

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins."
(Romans 3:23-25 ESV)
