Lord I Stumbled and Fell

Lord, I Stumbled and Fell! Lord, I have stumbled and fallen once again! By hanging on to a stubborn sin! I once thought, “My life will never get off track,” Until that one day after I committed such a sinful act. “No one’s watching me” was what I thought, I didn’t now the pain and suffering, into my family, that I brought! That moment of “pleasure,” I hoped would go away, But sin stares me in the face, every day! Pride crept into my once cheerful heart, It’s now eating at me! Tearing me apart! I once thought I was ”too good,” to commit a sin like this! Many of God’s blessings, I now will miss. To you Jesus… My whole heart, I ask you to cleanse. It’s in YOU! That my life depends. Create in me a clean heart! Renew a right spirit within me! Your forgiveness in my life, is what others must see. The most important thing, to God that I can give… Is a broken and contrite heart, each day I live! By Jim Pemberton rev. 04/13/13

James 5:16 . . . . . Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. I think your poetry did just that.... Thanks
