Fear and Wonder
Filled with fear and wonder,
At the foot of the throne
Knowing every fault and blunder
I had made on my own.
I fell to my knees
Hoping He could not see
The deadly disease
That completely covered me.
I kneel before Him now
Tears of shame running down
My face as I bow
Before He who wears the crown.
My sins are revealed
My evils made clear
My soul not yet healed
By Him who holds me dear.
"My child"
Those loving words I did heed
As He on the thrown smiled
I knew I need no plead.
My life to Him was prized
More than I could understand
I could not be sized
For my all He did command.
My life was always His
His to give or take away
For He made all that is
It is He who marked the way.
My life was not mine to take
Yet I took it nonetheless
His heart I did break
When I destroyed what I did not possess.
Now He calls me child
He forgives what have done
Though my sins had compiled
I was saved by His Son.
His Son who had died
After living a sinless life
With those who had lied
Whose tongues cut like a knife.
His life was taken
So scarlet could be white
And I not forsaken
And darkness made light.
Now He speaks in my favor
My sins are forgiven
For He is my Savior
My sins atonement given.
