MARCH 6, 2020

I am a failure, every day I fail to be Christian
An unkind word, an ugly thought
An ungodly desire
Selfish envy, pride and greed live within me

A cold heart that lacks sympathy
For the poor and suffering
Jealousy of the beauty and power of others
Each day, I fall short of God’s righteousness

I fail to be what my God created me to be
Lord help me face the truth, I am a sinner
I must to run to you, my Creator and Savior
Not run away from the light of your holy presence

I will bow at your feet, confess my sins
Receive your promised grace
Breathe into me a new and holy nature
Make all my trespasses and sins dead

Set me free from all the evil I the world
And the evil in my own heart
Supplant my vises with your virtues
Give me a new life, may I be born again

It is no longer I who live
But Christ who lives within me
