Lord, many truths had claimed my life,
And I had forgotten that You are already
The truth that I have constantly sought.
They have promises saccharinely coated
They have promised better societies,
And a better world.
I have forgotten that yours was the sweetest
Of all promises – salvation through your
Son, Jesus Christ our Savior.
Lord with folded knees I pray
That may your eyes of mercy look upon me –
All blemished, scorched and filthy from my misdeeds
And hear my cries, O, Lord: I need you in my life!
I have been stubborn and foolish
I turned away from you believing
That I could explain everything on my own,
That I can walk without you guiding my path,
Keeping me away from traps.
Dear Lord, I was wrong
I beseech Thy mercy!
Lord, God, look upon me.
Forgive me from straying from the flock.
Lord, now I know that Yours was
The only voice that I should follow.
