A Tribute to God's Love
(The Son of Sam)A disciple of the devil,
Was David Berkowitz.
To shed the blood of others
Was his passion and his wish.Driven by a demon,
To murder still again,
A prisoner of the darkness,
Was the ruthless Son of Sam.Satan was David's father,
The young man had no peace.
His mind had been tormented,
His soul had been deceived.A vegetable rotting away,
Behind the prison walls.
Left to die in anguish,
Until the day that Jesus called.David tried to take his life,
His pain became to great.
Another tried to slit his throat,
But God gave David grace.Imagine here's a murderer,
Known as the Son of Same,
This man thirsty of death and blood,
Is now God's little lamb.David had a date with hell,
That he knew he deserved.
But a friend gave him a Bible,
And David read God's Word.While reading in the Book of Psalms,
The Lord touched David's will.
Born again was David Berkowitz,
The Son of Sam was killed.God took a convicted murderer,
And washed his sins away.
In heaven he's now innocent,
Of his violent yesterdays.The blood that David shed,
Would haunt him day and night.
But the blood that Jesus shed for him,
Gave David back his life.Praise You God Almighty,
Lord of Heaven and of Earth.
For setting guilty David free,
And giving him new birth.Revenge it is craving,
That our sinful heart's demand.
But only God's forgiveness,
Makes a murderer His lamb.Consecutive life sentences,
Behind the prison bars,
David now spends with a Friend,
Who has nail prints and scars.God left His throne in Heaven,
And found David Berkowitz.
God wrapped His arms around him,
And David did not resist.The demons stopped tormenting,
The moment David knew,
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
Would be his Savior too.Condemned to die in prison,
For deeds done years before,
This saint of God named David,
Knows he'll walk through Heaven's doors.
