I'm so undeserving
of Your grace,
of Your mercy,
of your love unswerving.
My heart, I've laid waste
with the vilest of sins.
Yet, You wash me
in the blood shed on the Cross.
For words, I'm at a loss.
How do I thank You
for a love so true
for Grace and mercy
given so freely
that it washes me anew
when I'm so undesserving?
Temptation, like a trip-wire,
causes me to stumble.
And my situation becomes dire.
Oh the ways, my life, I do bungle
each and every day. Oh the mire
into which I bumble.
Why do I surrender
without much of a fight?
Defeated, myself I render
and upon my soul I place a blight
when I simply surrender
to temptation without a fight.
I ask myself when
will I pray for the strength
to defeat my own sin?
I ask, Lord, for strength
to resist this temptation.
Lord, I ask for strength.
Verse 1:
C G
Gently swaying in the breeze,
Dm
the limbs of these trees
C F
remind me of my heart
G C
being gently moved
C G
by Your Holy Spirit.
G C
Your grace proved
Chorus:
C Am
Without You, I was unclean,
C G
and my good deeds, mere filthy rags.
Dm Em7
My heart was shriveled up like an autumn
G C
leaf. Me, away from you, my sin drags.
Verse 2:
For God so loved me, He
sent Jesus to be
the sacrificial lamb
that through faith in Him
born again, I am.
Like a fallen limb
Bridge:
C
Like a fallen limb
F
I was dried up and dead,
G
highly flamable.
C
But Glory be to him
G
who is capable
C
of setting me free
G C
and breathing new life into me.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 1:
D A D
There was a time when I was truly humble
D A D
but lately all I can do is stumble
D
Though I put on my Sunday best
A G D
and I act all good and righteous
G
Yeah, I can put on quite a show,
D A
But what my audience don't know
Chorus:
A
Underneath it all,

I still fall.
A
Underneath it all,
D
I still sin.
A
'Cause underneath it all,
E D
it's still me deep within
A
and underneath it all,
D7
I'm still human.
Verse 2:
I failed You again, ooh I failed You again
I can't stop wallowing in my sin.
The very things I don't want to do
trip me up, and keep me from You.
And I just can't seem to do that
which my heart desires me to do, but
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
You came into my life, came into my heart
and set me apart, You set me apart,
so why do I keep failing You?
The very things I don't want to do
I find myself doing over and over again
I just can't stop wallowing in my sin.
(Repeat Chorus, then Bridge)
Bridge:
A
But underneath it all,
D7 D
my heart cries out to You,
A D
Father forgive me

SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
I see her, Deceiver, a believer in Fear~
She's lonely, and owned see, a product of tempt only
Below me, faith sown deep, testing me, it grows 'neath
Untestable, blessed inall, instincts are unquestionable
Does God want me to guide her?
Or the satisfaction I provide her?
Lucifer wants me to be the divder
Rule, control, conquer and ride her
No...

Confident, Competent, perfect body concomitant
redeemer, I'd be her, naive demeanor
So Begiled, it's wild, her faith reconciled
Saviour! but I'd savour the Sinful Behaviour
In scarlet, a harlot, yet an innocent mess
Lost and confused in God's given test
Me, She anticipates, Looking her very best
Lust is the feeling she's willing to confess
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!

I did it again
It's a sin
Father forgive me
For I know what I do
I know what I choose
Time and time again
I choose Me over You
The first man condemned me
The last Man redeemed me
The inner man damns me
The new man reviles “Me”
I give up again
It's all I can do
So take “me” away
And fill me with You
For I know once I am more like You
I'll be the best Me I can be
I am not a sinner
By jfarrell
To hurt another is wrong;
Known that as long as I can remember remembering;
And lotsa things I might do, can hurt;
So, I try not to; I don’t always succeed.
You ‘know’ god - you think I less moral than you?
By what right?
I brought me up; no god; no parents;
Think I did a pretty good job.
I am not a sinner;
I was not born into sin;
I am a nobody; nothing;
Ask your god.
He’ll tell you.. “Don’t get near his shoes; don’t even smell his shoes”;
I dare you, walk in my shoes 5 minutes…
“smell it… smell it… now TAKE it!” (adam sandler should be a god)
I am a nobody with very, very bad smelling feet.
Please don’t judge me. You don’t have any right.
So, I don’t shave often as I might; I swear more then you like;
And I fantasise about killing my neighbour; very, very slowly;
But you have no right, wotsoever, to judge me.
I wish you all rainbows ;-)
My Ode against Original Sin
Tell you about Original Sin
Please stick it in the bin
Your not guilty from the day you were born
Organized religion needed you to adorn
You with weights they could only lift
To keep you in religions grip
In two hundred and fifty six ad
Long after Master Jesus’s Christianity
A college of cardinals was convened
Invented original sin for power over you and me
The beloved mother of mankind
Became the blamed for us to be blind
Those cardinals placed evil everywhere
And tagged it so they could be the answer
They needed to get us from the day born
To rack us with guilt and keep us scorned
To convince us we've sinned from an early age
Press ganged into the flock come what may
The true state of affairs is far different
You can fly higher without original guilt
You are not guilty of being not guilty
And this truth sets you free absolutely
Take all doctrine with a pinch of salt too
It’s all designed to maintain control over you
Sin, as a seductress, attracts,
Sin, as a Satan, misguides,
Sin, as a lunatic, destroys,
Sin, as a Pharaoh, divides!
Stay away from sin my friend,
From its downbeat impact,
Save your skin,
Never let it contact!
Know that damned you will be!
Once you fall a victim to sin wittingly!
