To Sing Your Praise - Contest

With brazen face 'fore You I stand
To plead for Mercy from Your Hand
I'm meritless and don't deserve
The chance to sing Your Praise and serve

In deeds so poor, in thoughts so vain
My self-examinations pained
How can I summon up such nerve? --
The chance to sing Your Praise and serve

The flesh is weak; it's prone to err
So with Your Help and Loving Care
From Goodness' Path let me not swerve
~ The chance to sing Your Praise and serve

So happy to see you entered my contest! Lovely content! Self-examination is good for the soul where many in the world seek to serve only themselves. Congratulations on second place, Gershon! Hugs...Kim
