MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING GRACIOUS TO ME
Thank You for being gracious unto me, being good merciful
Very holy are You --- though I’m sinful
You let me repent from my evil ways so awful
While bringing my soul toward becoming prayerful.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, since You’re slow to anger
Very compassionate are You --- though I’m tempted in worldliness to linger
You let me acknowledge my spiritual hunger
While touching my heart with Your loving finger.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, showing Your great kindness
Very gentle are You --- though I’m bent by haughtiness
You let me realize my arrogance-destructiveness
While abasing my pride for genuine meekness.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, and ready with Your presence
Very approachable are You --- though I’m sulking in self-pity’s license
You let me see my hypocrisy’s bad essence
While opening my vision toward Your glorious magnificence.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, as well as righteously mighty
Very powerful are You --- though I’m weakened by iniquity
You let me consider my ways against backsliding’s infirmity
While strengthening my faith upon Your truth-authority.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, with Your exceeding compassion
Very forgiving are You --- though I’m unfaithful to Your great commission
You let me recognize my previous hell-bound condition
While transforming my character through Your perfecting conversion.
Thank You for being gracious unto me, indeed always available
Very helpful are You --- though I’m incompetent and unable
You let me ponder on my mistakes, making me humble
While leading my steps to Your victory, by Your might that’s possible.
