lament VII

From the sinking sands You pulled me,
And removed the chains from my feet.
When I was in despair, I called to You.
I knew that You heard, but I knew not if you listened.
But now oh Lord,
I see Your eyes on the righteous;
Your ears attentive to their prayers.
For you oh God rescue Your children.
Through an immature faith,
My faith has been lifted.
How all hope seemed to fade,
You have brought me out soaring on winds.

Oh God, vindicate me.
Bring about Your powers through my evil deeds.
In my restoration bring forth Your grace to others.

I have wronged God of heaven and earth.
I know Your calling of my life,
Yet I chose to gratify the sinful nature.
Oh God, please do not despise.
As You have lifted me, may I stay lifted.
May my sanctified life carry on to perfection
For the glory of the Lord.
You Oh God have justified me.
I will stand before You free from accusation
And without blemish.
Your Son suffered in my place because of my iniquity.
Your son died for me.

Until I reach Your glory,
May I hold prescious to your mercy
And stand for Your truth.
For You look on me and forgive.
Amen
