Tears And Gratitude

 

Though we know that our broken souls
Have been restored by grace,
We’re still inclined to see the sin
Lingering in its place.
 
It’s not that we doubt we are saved,
But know we’re unworthy
Of the grace You’ve poured out for us,
The blood that sets us free.
 
We’ve lived so long chained to our sin,
It’s our habit to feel
That weight bearing down on our souls,
Though it’s no longer real.
 
We hear satan reminding us
Of all the ways we’ve failed,
That we deserve eternity
Hellishly bound and jailed.
 
It is with tears of gratitude
That I stop and recall
I am no longer stained by sin,
But redeemed before all.
 
I need to shift my focus from
Seeing the worst of me,
And fix it on my Savior ‘til
His glory’s all I see!
 
Romans 4:7-8
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
 
Colossians 1:13-14
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
