A Sinner's Prayer

Perpetually I am thrown in the pulse of mourning against the wall With sincerity I ask lord if you indeed subsist, apprehend my soul through it all From the immoral ways accumulated in yesteryears I am accustomed to transcending from suppressed fears Repercussions in distance range persevering to be Father exculpate this afflicted soul for trespassing those who have trespassed and scorned even me For vile exploitation administered in reticence For counteracting the blessings restored in the pathway of supreme acceptance For aliments of self extorted mental strains, I request at your mercy I plea...I declare In tolerance of relapsing the course of tempting habits; I approach your throne with a sinner's prayer The convulsions and embittered tendencies tarnishing my soul, lord extricate my eternal spirit I surrender to your impositions, the truth as it is; not as I would acquire it Deliver me from perceptual incarceration, obscuring in apprehension my eyes Impel my perception, my countenance from being camouflaged in disguise I am inquiring redemption in urgency to be emancipated, to be set free I have nowhere else in contingency to turn, metamorphose my persona to see My promise to conform to your will documenting your word, I humbly articulate my plea I beg of you to consider hearing a sinner's prayer!

Bruce; this is an outstanding prayer! It speaks to so many of the sin's of our world. I could feel the desperate cries of those who need, want, seek God's mercy. Beautifully done...Lay

good Act Of Contrition, Cummings. I sincerely felt sorry for the man in feeling that I'm God.
