Lord, Forgive Me

Today I felt close to Thee, Lord

Thy gentle hands picked up

The shards of my shattering heart

Waiting to piece it back together

With the surest glue of humility.

I sought a freedom from my trials

And instead found strength to bear them.

My worries and cares threatened to beat me down

But Thy loving arms picked me up

Brushed away the dust

And brought me to Thy side

A welcoming safe-haven from the world

Lord, forgive me for my impatience

My unwillingness, my pride

My lack of faith in Thee

Forgive me

For not turning to Thee sooner.
