"

No day of my life has passed that has not proved me guilty in Your sight.

Prayers have been uttered from a prayerless heart.

Praise has been often praiseless sound…

All things in me call for my rejection,

All things in You plead my acceptance.

I appeal from the throne of perfect justice to Your throne of boundless grace.

Grant me to hear Your voice assuring me:

That by Your stripes I am healed;

That You were bruised for my iniquities;

That You have been made sin for me;

That I might be righteous in You;

That my grievous sins, my manifold sins, are all forgiven,

Buried in the ocean of Your concealing blood.

I am guilty, but pardoned,

Lost, but saved,

Wandering, but found,

Sinning, but cleansed…

Keep me always clinging to your cross.

Flood me every moment with descending grace.

"
