I am confronted by the urgency of this day.
My heart pounds as I rush to repent before the Gates close.
But repent to whom/to what?
But repent to whom/to what?
Help me cut through the unknown that blocks me
So that I can know myself and know You.
Without that knowledge repentance means nothing.
Help me God
Forgive me God, I pray over and over again
But I am met with silence.
Louder, again and again I call out as I pound my chest
Listing my wrong doings
Listing my failings
Listing my shortcomings
But I am met with silence.
Aware of the seriousness of my situation I turn within for help
Softer, again and again I murmur as I pound my chest
Searching for a way forward
Searching for a key to forgiveness.
Searching for you, God.
Anticipating
Searching for a key to forgiveness.
Searching for you, God.
Anticipating
But I know that only I have the key to my forgiveness.
Without forgiveness I am lost.
Even as I pray to you I know I am praying that I have strength and wisdom to face myself
Will I be able to forgive my wrongdoings;
Forgive my failings;
Forgive my shortcomings?
Can I acknowledge that I am not the sum total of my sins?
Can I acknowledge that I am also
Can I acknowledge that I am also
Good
Generous
Feeling
Helping others?
Generous
Feeling
Helping others?
Yes, I make mistakes
Yes, I miss the mark
And yes, I am human.
