My Condition (written 8-13-10)

My heart is so callous from sin
My wickedness is before me
I love my own fleshly pleasure
I don't believe

Where is my faith?
Where is a broken-hearted repentance?
I take God's grace for granted
I know I'm guilty yet I persist
I don't love You like I should

Have mercy on me!
Have I sinned too much?
Have I gone too far?
There is no other way
Only grace
I beg You for it

Bring brokenness
Bring hatred for sin
Bring repentance
Bring renewal of joy
Bring strength to fight
Bring You, Jesus
I must have You.

I cannot do this
I've tried
I've failed
You are my only hope.

I need you Jesus
Come to my rescue

I'm not the righteous man
I'm not the spiritual man
I'm a wretched sinner

But you have saved me
Keep saving me, I pray!

Only You can keep me
Only You can protect me
Only You can birth good from this mouth
Only You can form holiness from these hands
Only You

Crush me under the weight of grace
That I may worship You
Not myself any longer
Only You.

Amen
