You Took My Sin

This song is kind of easy to understand if you listen to the words. “Once was shameless, taking life for granted, just thinking about tomorrow, not living for today, my sin took over my life.” Before we are saved we are all living ways we aren’t supposed to, right? So that’s how I was. This song basically describes my life without Christ then after I had a relationship with Him. This song isn’t too old, I wrote it maybe 6 weeks ago. So it’s kind of where I was with Christ. He died on the Cross for our sins. Because He loves us!  The love He has for me and for all of us I will never be able to grasp. I explain it in the bridge. “My sin was brought to the Cross. Why did you do all this for me, I’m thirsty for your love! You’re holding me in the palm of our hand.” I love that verse because He did die on the Cross for our shame and that just goes to show how much He really love us. Your Spirit became my life- this is probably my favorite line in the entire song because once you’re saved the Holy Spirit enters your heart and you feel it! When I was saved I was at Windy Gap, a Young Life Camp in Ashville North Carolina, I got to lay under the stars in the mountains and the Holy Spirit entered my heart as I felt a rush of cold wind and a star twinkled and I felt a huge burden off my shoulder! Then the closer I got to Christ, His Spirit became more and more of my life. Now, I am living in His Name!
