INIQUITY (UPDATED)

Thank you, Jesus, for delivering me

from my own iniquity.

I've blamed my pain on the way I was raised.

But that's something I can never change.

There's always something inside,

some measure of pride.

Cleanse me, Lord, wash me in your purifying blood,

save me from the flood.

Please deliver me

from this anger that comes so quickly.

Stop me from judging,

from preaching

in such a way

that makes others want to run away and hide.

Let your light

shine brightly
through me.

Wash me with your living water

so I can be a better daughter.

Jesus, I am so bound up by my sins,

there's no way I could ever win.

I cannot change them, but you can.
And I cannot change me.
Only you can

and only by your grace

and forgiving me my iniquity.
If they want to continue to live this way,
that's their prerogative,
but that won't stop me from praying for them
unceasingly.

PSALM 27:14

WAIT FOR THE LORD;

BE STRONG

AND TAKE HEART

AND WAIT FOR THE LORD.
