Lord, I Stumbled and Fell!
 

Lord, I have stumbled and fallen once again!

By hanging on to a stubborn sin!

I once thought, “My life will never get off track,”

Until that one day after I committed

 such a sinful act.

“No one’s watching me” was what I thought,

I didn’t now the pain and suffering,

 into my family, that I brought!

That moment of “pleasure,”

 I hoped would go away,

But sin stares me in the face, every day!

Pride crept into my once cheerful heart,

It’s now eating at me! Tearing me apart!

I once thought I was ”too good,”

 to commit a sin like this!

Many of God’s blessings, I now will miss.

To you Jesus…  My whole heart,

 I ask you to cleanse.

It’s in YOU!  That my life depends.

Create in me a clean heart!

 Renew a right spirit within me!

Your forgiveness in my life,

 is what others must see.

The most important thing,

 to God that I can give…

Is a broken and contrite heart,

 each day I live!
