Under conviction

for my sin,

I kneel and begin to pray

not having the words to say

that I am sorry, that it will never happen again.

I can only come before You

in humility,

seeking to be forgiven,

even though I deserve not

that You would forgive me.

Your grace, and Your mercy cannot be bought,

they come freely through faith

in the atoning blood of Your Dear son,

spilt there on the cross at Calvary.



This kind of love, I truly cannot understand,

yet I accept it on the basis of faith alone.

Knowing that it is the reason that Jesus chose to atone

for my every sin with His Divinely Precious Blood.

So, how could I sin against Him

I wonder; as my heart, for my own sin

is under conviction.



Under conviction

for my sin,

I kneel and begin to pray,

not having the words to say

that I am sorry, that it will never happen again.

The Holy Spirit joins me in prayer,

saying words I do not understand,

yet He is uttering my heart’s petition

in a language that only The  Father can hear.

That He wants me to be forgiven, I comprehend,

that much is clear.

Suddenly, my heart is cleansed

of the guilt and stains left by my sin

This kind of love, I cannot truly understand.

yet I accept it on the basis of faith alone.

for my every sin with His Divinely Precious Blood.
