Yes, I'Ve Done Some Things

Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes our sin. ~ Max Lucado I’ve done things I regret Committed sins I can’t take back Given up on dreams that I cherished Lost my hopes amid failures Felt the pangs of doubt That come with heartbreak And disillusionment Grief that fills one up With a damaged Breath I’ve done things I feel guilty for More remorse than I care to admit Repentance doesn’t always come Easily or within the grasp Of a heart who listens To the One who creates Our hearts and souls The parts of us who know Mourning, shame and lamenting Feelings of contrition Will I ever be Forgiven? I’ve done things I can’t possibly admit Were deeds that left me feeling Anything except pure humiliation For the feats that brought me More hesitation That readiness Inclination Toward Love I’ve done things I surely wish I had never done, never experienced Deeds that left me feeling mortified That I had done them They gave me a feeling Of pure dishonor Degradation, indignation And I wish I could simply Take them back Never to be Faced I’ve done some things that I know This God I love – He’s forgiven me for With a mercy that leaves me Feeling so free and sure That love like this Is love worthy Of all my faith In His amazing grace All my love Worship and praise Given to this Lord Who saves me From suffering From torment From misery I’m so thankful to God Who knows me Better than I know myself And still loves me With a everlasting love Love that is strong Always right – never wrong Love that lives inside Because it’s there that He resides!
