Search me, O God,
and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me
in the way everlasting.
Lord, show me what you see, that I might agree with You.
Let me not be deceived..............Let me not live in deceit.
Lead me into the Truth.
So that... I might bear fruit that will last.
Apart from you I can do nothing.
Apart from you I can not even repent.
For it is Your kindness that leads me to repentance O Lord.
It is Your Light that exposes the darkness.
I know that You love me therefore I want to agree with You.
If I say that You do not love me... I make You out to be a liar. Then it is I who speaks falsehood.
If I say I am with out sin I lie. The truth is not in me.
If I confess my sin, you are faithful and just. You forgive my sin. You cleanse me from all unrigtheousness. I choose not to remain in self shame. I choose to recieve your gift of grace and mercy. I choose to forgive even myself.
