The Constant Cry Against Sin: Called For Holiness- Part 02
Hear me beyond my many repeated "I'm sorry."
Save me from the judgment I have pronounced upon myself.
Remove from me the love of sin.
Teach my heart to hate what separates me from You.
Help me to crucify it daily
until holiness is no longer an effort
but my nature in You.
Revive me from the debt of my own desires.
Cultivate in me the desire to desire You.
Let me love you so much
as a bridegroom loves his bride
Let me love You so deeply
that what You hate becomes unbearable to me.
Let me love You so purely
that my eyes close to what defiles my body and spirit.
Let me love You so fully
that I cannot look away from You.
Teach me to behold You so clearly
That sin loses its flavor.
O God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
do not leave me to myself.
For if You withdraw Your hand,
I will not fulfill my written destiny.
Hear me from the multitude of my many repeated 'Am sorry'
For Without You, I fall.
I am not ashamed to bear the name Christian.
I choose you publicly therefore
this is why I confess publicly for the world to see
that I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God
that brings salvation to everyone who believes
But I am ashamed
that after choosing You,
I still wrestle with pride, lust and its vices
Lord, save me.
For You are not surprised by my struggle.
Have mercy upon me.
Let not my future generation inherit
the consequences of my weakness.
Oh God Pardon my multitude of sin.
The known and the unknowns
Write my name firmly in the Book of Life.
Let me and my generation
praise and bless Your holy name forever.
Amen.
