Futile It Is

Futile each of my efforts is, my Lord To try from Thee my sins to conceal When I know, willing my soul to be All my trespasses to Thee to reveal! © Demetrios Trifiatis 15 October 2015

A gorgeous prayer. I once stood in front of a congregation to teach a children’s chat. I said I am a sinner and received a standing ovation. I could barely continue.

You can run but you can't hide. He knows all the hairs on our heads. Living in us he knows all our thoughts, sin, everything we are. He knows.
