Repentant

Oh Father, the door stood open
Jesus You held out Your hand
Holy Spirit a warning You alarmed
visual, consideration, action, birth - sin

Father come to my aid
forgive me again
I am not worthy of Your Sons blood
But Your grace pours it on me anyway

Father consider my sad existence
this world of flesh in which i find my abode

how it fights me at every turn
Its desire like a dog after the scent of a female

Consider, my Creator, my weak and poor state
that there is no good in me but You
I long for You to be all thats in me
help me overcome as i stand up again

Oh Jesus I know Your are patient and kind
You hold my hand as i rise to You
through true repentance I come
A hard lesson learned indeed
from even the appearance of evil flee!

Help me leave the world behind Lord!

With all its desire and lure to my senses.

All the immediate sensations and appeasement.

Draw my heart to You oh my God! Jesus

hold me close to You and Spirit help me see truth!

all day long am I surrounded by the enticing smells and aroma of sin.

all day long am I standing upon my freedom from the bondage of sin, and cling to You Jesus for purchasing my freedom! Oh help me put sin far from me.

My heart is steadfast oh Lord, create a clean heart inside my chest! One that pants for Your approval all day long! Cause my eyes to see You as my only source of satisfaction and life.

Let the knowledge that I live on Your very word better than food itself be my meditation. Remind me that I am sustained by the very words of Your son Jesus and You uphold me with Your right arm.

I daily feel my flesh and heart longing for this world and its pleasures and so I welcome every trial that You help me walk in victory through. When i awake I go quickly to You my Lord and give myself to You, submitting control to You because my own heart is deceitful and I am weak on my own. I am born with the tendency to pull away from You my Savior, to wander as a lost sheep so I am quick to give my life a living sacrifice to You and submit my thoughts under Your control.

As Jesus has prayed for me Lord keep me from the evil one! Allow me to be a tool for Your kingdom in this world drawing all peoples to You and bringing You glory. Empower me to do Your will and teach me how to hate the sin and love the sinner.

Forgiven

How marvelous that my sins are forgiven!  They can never be found again and I am overjoyed with the entire idea. Completely marked out and erased,. as if they never even existed. What power and righteousness God must possess to do such a thing!


After all sin is a repugnant smell to God, it makes Him want to vomit.  I once was indeed an enemy toward God, always causing trouble and fighting agains Him. But now I bask in His glory, I am refressed in His presence but most of all I am forgiven.  The price i could not repay short of death has been conceled. The blood of Jesus has canceled out my sin, as if it was never even there.


Praise the Father, Son and Holy Ghost who all play an entricate part of this process. Being made whole, the robbed and prepared and finally recieveding His grace and forgiveness. Filled with love and compassion.
