Heard this song on Pandora radio the other day — by Mary Gauthier, who would not likely associate herself with Christian music, but sings dark reality and real redemption. I had never heard this story before but it struck me as one that many of us could claim as our own in some way. See what you think…
I couldn’t find a Youtube of it, so hopefully it will work to read the lyrics and listen:



Have you heard the story of Karla Faye? I read two books about her. She was a murderer who experienced the forgiveness of Jesus in a very real way. She was not able to get parole but is free in Heaven now. Hers is a very real story of redemption and the power of God to save. I had not heard the song. Thanks for sharing it. Our story, indeed.
I had not heard the story, though after hearing the song I googled the song and found it was a real story. I’d like to read one of the books. Can you give me the names or the name of the best one?
