Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past,
and those for which I haven't asked.
Forgive me when I neglect to pray;
instead, desiring my own way.

Forgive the many times I've lied,
and covered up my sins with pride.
Forgive my failures, great and small,
and even those I don't recall.

Cleanse my soul from head to toe.
Through everyday help me to know-
You're the Savior of every sin,
every sin that has ever been.

Composing my Soul

My eyes are not haughty,
  my heart is not proud.
I'll shun all things worldly, 
  confusing and loud. 

May I learn to rest only
  in God's loving grace,
composing my soul in
  His warmest embrace. 

May we all hope in God,
  both now and forever,
through triumph, trials, 
  and every endeavor.

(based on Psalm 131)

Unbelievably

He's unbelievably faithful
  and yet still I believe.
He's unbelievably generous,
  yet still I receive.

He's unbelievably gracious,
  even when I am not.
He's unbelievably caring,
  when I'm most distraught.

He's always near and loving,
  in times of greatest grief.
Lord, You know I do believe,
  but help my unbelief.

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
