LIVE THIS DAY


How long O sovereign LORD

How long must I mourn

Many days now I’ve worn sackcloth

Ashes still crown my head

My act was not of rebellion

An accident with none at fault

Tho it was not against you I acted

Still I must give my penitence

Mustn’t there be some punishment

Am I allowed to go unpunished?

Can a smile now caress my face?

After 7 days may I laugh again?

In a month can I again sing?

Speak LORD I’m desperate to hear

There is no peace in my life

Joy a forgotten and past virtue

I must choose this day to live

My past must be just that

I have asked for humble forgiveness

With payment of my peace paid

I now return to your service

Confident my promise is secure

Knowing your love for me unshaken

People are again looking form a smile

My desire for punishment now ended

Today I start to live again
