Messiah King

Father, cleanse my soul.

For believing the worst of my friends,
Forgive me.
For speaking what offends,
Forgive me.
For thinking as means to an end,
Forgive me.
For demanding food for my sin,
Forgive me.

For stepping into another’s place,
Forgive me.
For seeking comfort over grace,
Forgive me.
For desiring anyone else’s face,
Forgive me.
For resenting running my own race,
Forgive me.

For turning a shoulder
Where I may have extended a hand,
Forgive me.
For thinking of myself
When I could have tried to understand
Forgive me.

For taking or keeping
What I may have shared,
Forgive me.
For expecting care
Where I ought to have cared,
Forgive me.

For coming to be served
And not to serve,
Forgive me.
For treating love and grace
Like substances deserved,
Forgive me.

Most grievously I have sinned,
Let Your mercy know no end!
I have no righteousness to display
Let Your glory light the way!
Cover me in bridal garments of grace alone
Prostrate I fall before Your holy throne

And surrender all of my nothings.

Cleanse me in Your tenderness,
Worthy Lamb and Father.
