I try to keep my attitude

Founded upon Your Word,

But all too often unkindness

Is what others have heard.

 

My works will not amount to much.

When weighed upon the scale

Against the sins that I have lived,

Those works are thin and pale.

 

I will never be worthy of

Your perfect sacrifice,

For I still walk the broke path

Formed by each sin and vice.

 

But my faith tells me of Your grace,

Boundless, loving, and real.

If I can walk closer to You,

I know that Grace can heal.

 

Lord, I will try to change my path,

And time alone will tell.

But if I can just touch Your robe,

I know You’ll make me well.

 

Mark 5:28

For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”
