God who pardons sin
I  knock , ask,  and  you  answered.
My sins are  many

Sins  are a  revolt
against you and I desire
to accept Your will

I humbly  come for
absolution  of  my  sins
I have committed

let your glory fill ,
show me  to  be merciful,
strengthen my body

a  fault  of holding
pain   against  unforgiving
souls,  please   forgive  me

I desire to kneel
humble myself before You
not sin against Thee
