A sinful man, a fallen human, I;
My foolishness, I see, has only grown,
And I can do no thing but humbly cry:
"No good in me but by Your grace alone."
Day after day I fail and fail again.
Try as I might, my filthy rags have blown
Like leaves and I am left in all my pain;
I would have died but by Your grace alone.
I try to do the things I think are right,
But in the end I wish I might have known!
I failed again, bemoaning now my plight;
I could have conquered by Your grace alone.
Now, nothing left but here before Your throne,
I bow and say, "It's by Your grace alone."

Psalm 130
ReplyDeleteOut of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more that watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
