Sin and Forgiveness

You know and have seen all I have done and made me view all one by one my own iniquity so clearly I see What possible value can you find in me Words I have spoken that caused others pains deeds not worth speaking who's knowledge remains How many times have I others failed against the treatment by so many I railed Oh Lord you have seen all that I am each deed in the life that do I span remove from me all vanity and lies and all my own actions that I so despise Chasten me not in your hot displeasure for the words of your law are the things that I treasure Day and night I consider your laws things of my failings that so give me pause I reel within since you've opened my eyes and the self delusion who was my disguise I fear to think of what I might find If I could see clearly with sight of your mind I bow beneath the sins I discovered with praise and thanks to know they are covered My feet had slipped into the path of sinners My heart was cold for so many winters Years I have your understanding sought since the first time I knew I was bought like a repurchaser in ancient times out of slavery who's chains defines The sources of waters and light that gives life with betrothment to your Son I am wife with forgiveness you have my heart won a gift you've created for the heart of your Son May I always your Loves wisdom to listen within the world this was what was missing over and over you have proved yourself loyal May I never by actions the truth of it spoil sources Ps. 38 Ps. 51 Pr.1 Acts 20:28 Rev. 21:6-27 COPYRIGHT © 2010 C Michael Miller
