Confidence Restored
CONFIDENCE RESTORED
In the quiet solitude of evening,
I come before the Lord.
In the secrecy of my chambers,
I seek His presence.
It is here that I kneel before my Master,
And bare my soul.
Though I fail Him time and again,
He will receive me.
Though I disappoint Him,
He will not reject me.
Though He chastises me,
He will not cast me out.
He will lift me up from the mire,
And set my feet upon firm ground.
He will wash away my sin,
And clothe me in a robe of righteousness.
With His right hand,
He reaches out to me,
With His left hand,
He holds my enemies at bay.
With His right hand,
He provides all that I need,
With His left hand,
He shelters me from the elements.
All this He promises me,
For He is a loving Father,
And I am His Child.
