Stained Heart’s Prayer
Jesus, my heart is in need of repair
For I have sinned against You, when I did not care
To do Thy judgments, statutes and laws
Sometimes I wonder, if there’s any hope for me at all
Lord, I’m finding my heart is in bad shape
Learning more and more about myself, as of late
Finding there’s so far to go yet, as of this date
Not having come as far as one should have, and I fear my fate
You see, Lord, I start something, and then I want to quit
I have but one life in this world, and of mine own laurels am not fit
In repentance once again I come before your throne
Asking forgiveness, Lord please help me make it home
Each day I wonder, will mine eyes see another sun rise after this
To enter Your kingdom I am unworthy, but I must not quit
Only by the blood of the Lamb is there any hope, I can not do this on my own
Jesus, I come to you once again, asking never leave me alone
Do not forsake me, please, as I have you too many days
Chastise me Lord, always, as a child of thine, this I pray
In this life my walk here on earth, with You I’ve so far to go
Guide me with thy rod and thy staff,, ever, on the straight and narrow road
I’m trying again to live my life for You, for this race I must not quit
Though this sinner’s soul to enter you kingdom I know is unfit
I’ll keep asking that your throne I might again come to
Till by and through the grace of God, my soul is right with you
