I left the door open

an this one li’l sin

came strolling in,

now I find myself a slave

to this way to behave

that detests me.

Now the light, I can no longer see.

I left the door open,

and now I know why I should have bolted it shut

but now it’s too late.

I’m n such an awful state,

a sinful state,

I’m in a spiritual rut.



Oh, Lord, is it too late?

Is there a way out of this state

of sin and shame? Is it too late?

I can almost hear the voice of you

saying “I still love you,

Just repent and return to Me.”

The light I can barely see,

my own behavior, I dost hate,

yet I’m in such a spiritual rut.

I really hate my sin,

I wish I had never let it in

this life of mine. I hate my sin.

I should have left the door shut.



The Light, I can barely see

for this sin has blinded me,

I just want to be

faithful to You.

But breaking free is hard to do,

When sin is chained to my heart.

How can I ever part

with this that has become a part of me?

“Repent, and return to me,” I hear You say.

I can barely hear you, though, for I

have become blind and deaf (sigh).

My sin makes me wanna cry,

when upon my bed I lay.



At night, when I try

to sleep, all the things that I

have done, these things, they fly

to the center of my mind

and I hear my teeth grind

at the thought of how

I have let you down. I bow

my head, but I

cannot find the words

to express my regrets.

“Let’s forget it, and Let’s

start anew, no worries, not frets,”

I hear You speak these words.

Father, help me to

accept the forgiveness that You

offer. Father, make me new

cleanse me, once again

forgive me my sin.

Only in You,

can I defeat

the temptation that lures me.

Help me to see

Your light more clearly.

Please, remove me from this spiritual rut.
