While I Was Out Sinning, God Waited For Me

While I was out sinning,                                          
       listening to things I should not have heard,
                   I rejected GOD’S SACRED WORD.

While I was out sinning,
       looking for pleasures to gratify me,
                    I rejected GOD’S PURITY.

While I was out sinning,
       telling lies to get riches and fame,
                   I rejected GOD’S DIVINE CLAIM
               .
While I was out sinning,
       touching things I should never embrace,
                   I rejected GOD’S HOLY PLACE.

While I was out sinning,
       walking thru doorways that lead to death
                   I rejected GOD’S LIVING BREATH.

While I was out sinning,
       God waited patiently many days
                   For me to reject Satan’s evil ways.

I kneeled before God, 
        Confessed each sin and
             Prayed that he would take me in.


Then I felt God touch my heart 
     And say to me “never depart”.

Psalm 51:1-2:  Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from sin. For I 
acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
