In the dark of the night
when I was lonely and sad
I sought the Lord
but to me it seemed
He wasn’t there
and I grew afraid
that maybe I had
overstepped the limit
and sinned against
His holy name
so much
that He could never again
forgive me.
So I hung my head in shame
and tried to
examine my life objectively.
And in the quite of the night
I knew that
when I call upon His name,
He will never turn away from me
And because He loves me,
I know He’s always there.
Please, God, forgive me for doubting
I have a gift
It was given to me
not wrapped with ribbons or bows
no, it’s not even tangible
it is the most glorious gift
anyone could ever give
Only, no one could give this gift
No one human-
Only God
He gave me this gift
And because of this gift
I can live my life
to the fullest for Him
This gift is the gift of faith.
Thank You, God!
Oh, dear Heavenly Father
I sorrow all day long
for the sins I have committed
for all that I’ve done wrong.
My sins are ever countless
I’ve nothing for myself to say
but thanks to Thee, oh glorious King
for blessings day by day.
Have mercy on me, oh Father,
for this I pray to Thee
that thou wilt ever have mercy
on a sinner such as me.
I need Thy help, uphold me
when I’m drowning in my pain
I pray Thee, carry me out
for my own work is in vain.
I listen to Thy word, Lord,
and things Thou hast revealed
sovereign from eternity
Thy covenant is sealed.
Down on my knees I bow
humbly before Thee, heart and soul
beseeching for forgiveness
Dear Father, make me whole.
