Stained Heart’s Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, my heart is in need of repair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I have sinned against You, when I did not care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do Thy judgments, statutes and laws<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I wonder, if there’s any hope for me at all<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, I’m finding my heart is in bad shape<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning more and more about myself, as of late<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding there’s so far to go yet, as of this date\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not having come as far as one should have, and I fear my fate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, Lord, I start something, and then I want to quit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have but one life in this world, and of mine own laurels am not fit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In repentance once again I come before your throne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking forgiveness, Lord\u00a0 please help me make it home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day I wonder, will mine eyes see another sun rise after this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enter Your kingdom I am unworthy, but I must not quit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only by the blood of the Lamb is there any hope, I can not do this on my own\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, I come to you once again, asking never leave me alone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not forsake me, please, as I have you too many days<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chastise me Lord, always, as a child of thine, this I pray<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this life my walk here on earth, with You I’ve so far to go<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide me with thy rod and thy staff,, ever, on the straight and narrow road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m trying again to live my life for You, for this race I must not quit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this sinner’s soul to enter you kingdom I know is unfit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll keep asking that your throne I might again come to<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till by and through the grace of God, my soul is right with you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author, By the Grace of God,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
