Guilt and Me

Shall in guilt I lay down? Never pick that off the ground!

Will guilt really hold us down?

Aye! If we are guilty.

Guilt is built to hold us down.

Guilt it's meant to do just that.

Guilt is the infection of sin festering deep within.

We fester and boil, till pus causes a splintered sin to rise.

Raising it rises, ready to be tugged. 

Rising, it's ready to be tugged from above.

Love became flesh and dwelt among us...

Love became flesh and took away the sins of the world.

Love became flesh and took away my condemnation.

I still feel sore.

I still see the wound that sin inflicted on me.

I still feel the painful whinge in the place where that sin cut so deep.

Deeper depths of the sin? The greater the tug of love cuts on we.

The deeper the sin? The greater we love the One who loves us so.

These depths of sin required the deepest love: life lost, for life won.

Infected to the core, my Savior took my sin from me.

Infected by sin, I'm guilty! Guilty! That claim pressed down on me!

I'm as guilty as one can be! Jesus? Why'd You love one like me?

Father, my sins allure me to sway.

Father, I confess I've sinned, I weak in knee fall.

Hear my plea, I'm so weak in need.

In mercy, I know Jesus put away my guilt far from me.

I know my sin, does but cast my spit on Thee.

Please heal that ache in me, that which does flee.

May my tears be in repentant plea.

May my groans be intended for love from Thee.

May my affliction let me see I'm set free.

For Your Son,

My Jesus,

He has saved: even one like me.

“If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.” 1 John 1:8-10 NLT
