Wholly

Oh to be holy!
I've tried to be,
but still how I have failed..
Now I want to be
wholly Yours,
that Your Glory be unveiled.

To live for You,
not for myself,
is my heart's aim and quest.
Oh that by
Your love and grace,
I'll find such a place of rest.

How can You forgive?

How can You forgive me,
when I can't forgive myself?
For a sinner such as I should
be put back on the shelf.

Or better yet be cast aside
for my rebellious way.
Yet still I plead for mercy,
please pardon me I pray.

Though I am not deserving,
God, cleanse me of my sin..
Renew me by Your Spirit
and heal me once again.
