Feeling ashamed
I hold my head down.
Hoping no one noticed
I take a glance around.
Did they see I passed it up?
Are they judging me?
I’m not even worried
About the right things.
How do I get my mind & heart
Back on track?
How do I stop Satan
From this constant attack?
I don’t want to stand
With awful guilt and shame
Before my Lord
On that great & dreadful day.
To be forgiven,
To forsake,
I plead for your help.
Such a longing for trust & mercy
I’ve never before felt.
To abandon sin;
Much easier said than done.
It truly is a never ending battle
That must be won.
“We can do hard things”
We can win the prize.
Simply trust in the Lord
And cast our burdens on Christ.
…with hands now pledged to do thy work, we take the sacrament…
