MY CONFESSION


In shame, I humbly bow my head
And pour out bitter tears,
For ways I’ve failed to serve you, Lord,
And for my needless fears.


When I think of how your hands were pierced,
Then see mine stained with sin -
My Lord, My God! Forgive me!
Cleanse me once again.


When I think of how your feet were nailed
To yonder cruel tree;
Then I see how my feet stray -!
Have mercy, Lord, on me.


When I think of how, with lips so parched,
You pled for sinful man;
Then hear mine speak in anger -
Forgive me if you can!


I think of how, with broken heart,
You spent the night in prayer;
But oft’ times I’m too busy !
Make me, Lord, to care!


Lord, hear now my confession,
Break my pride filled heart;
I’ve never really served you yet;
But help me now, to start!
