For I Was Lost But Lovely Im Redeem'D Poem by Moses Ocharo

For I was lost but lovely Im redeem'd
Thy saving blood hast sparkling me so washt
How sins had mine unholy self so teemed
But Lord with Mercy You all have off it brusht
So dark Thy house did ever worldlike man
And sheepishly I the devil's feasts to host
Thy guiding light, Thy word to away shun
But You didst ever leave than I be lost
Let me, my soul in wanton praise my Lord
In all the woods my song and echo ring
As He deserves more than i can forward
So duly to Him do submit I my being
For I shall know not fatigue evermore
For haply wilt I live as plann'd before.
