The Most Loving and Forgiving

 

I disobey You; my Lord; yet You call me back to grace...
I stray a thousand times; yet You never turn Your face

I sin in the daylight; I sin in the night...
Yet You cover my shame; conceal me from sight

I took from the world; but forgot what You gave...
I walked into darkness; yet still; You forgave

I spoke what was false; I mocked what was true...
Yet Your mercy still flows; like the morning dew

I broke my word; I broke my vow...
Yet You mend my soul; then teach me how

Had it been men; they would cast me aside...
They’d whisper my faults with laughter and pride

They’d sit in their corners; rebuking my name...
They’d shun me; condemn me; and add to my shame

They’d mock my weakness; they’d call me a fraud...
But You; my Lord; still open the door

If it were humans; they’d count my sin...
Weighing my worth; deciding I’m thin

But You; the Most High; You see through the clay...
You know I am weak; yet love me anyway

You veil my disgrace like the clouds veil the sun...
You wait for my steps when I try to run

You heal without mocking; You give without scorn...
You whisper Your love before I am born

No debt too heavy; no past too flawed...
For You are the Merciful; the One True Lord

Indeed; You; my Lord; are the Most Loving and Forgiving...
The King of Kings; the Ever-Living
