Within Your View

You have watched over me always,

Through my youthful errors
Into the follies of old age,
With all its own terrors.
 
I know that I look back sometimes
Ashamed of where I’ve been
And of the life that I have lived,
Filled with the pain of sin.
 
But You don’t seem to see those sins
As clearly as You see
The love and faith that I have learned,
The wiser older me.
 
I thank You, Lord, that You give me
A grace beyond my due
And that I have learned to rejoice
Living within Your view.
 
Psalm 25:7
Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.
