Worth

I am a desperate sinful man

Darkness covered my many years
Times of sinful self-indulgence
A past of no use to the LORD
Living a life pleasing to myself
Welfare of others never considered
Pain inflicted before being received
Love merely a word to be spoken
Friendships arrive in a brown bottle
Money paid for false affections
Could a righteous GOD love me
Are not my sins those unforgivable?
Does He hear only the perfect prayers?
Then I must become a better man
So to approach the Holy throne
Yet how do I become worthy
Was someone only to tell me?
Speak to me of Calvary’s claims
Show me the way to the cross
To have my past forever forgiven
My guilt buried Good Friday Deep
A new life to live just for him
In the shadow of the Cross I kneel
Confessing the truth to my LORD
I am a desperate sinful man
