If I awake to flames after I die
to make eternal payment for my sin,
I will not raise my voice to question why
remembering the man that I had been.

But cast into oblivion, if He,
the Perfect Judge, should look my way with grace
and offer lovingly to pardon me
if only I would run again life’s race
more faithfully, without conceited pride,
the greed-filled lies, the lust, this time to live
my passions and my past to set aside…

***I think the middle section above could use work. It's not entirely clear to me what you mean whereas the first section and the section below I really understand. I really enjoy how this turns into a love poem by the end.***

I know one thing alone I'd never give.
Those moments spent with you I would not sell
to save my soul eternity in hell.
