Our sinful, selfish ways
Can rob us of our love
And make us feel so very far
From our Father up above.
He foresees the dangers when
From Him we go astray
Into a world that's filled with sin,
We tend to lose our way.
The Lord waits patiently,
And reaches out His loving hand
To shine His light and guide our path,
Showing love without demand.
Who can doubt His tender mercy?
His Grace will spare your life.
If you will only let Him
He'll bear your burdens and your strife.
So humble yourself; confess, repent…
Ask His forgiveness as you pray,
His Spirit will supply your needs
And guide you on your way.
Accept His gift-made new in Christ,
On Him you shall depend.
You'll find reward beyond this life
When your days on this earth end.
