naked and ashamed

I stand before you naked and ashamed I am defiled by the mud of my sin My heart is heavy with regret I have fallen short of my calling The fog of darkness clogs my vision Your hand no longer guides me I’ve moved from where you’ve put me Don’t turn away I need you now Your grace I have abused Your mercy I have taken for granted I am naked and ashamed Defenseless and desperate I have smoked from the weed of iniquity Dipped my bread inn the soup of evil I am unworthy to call your name But, please hear me as I cry to you Take my heart and make it new Shape my mind to become like yours Don’t cast me out from the fold of the chosen I was groomed in holiness Raised in your presence I have loved you from my childhood But now evil overwhelms me I have no help except you No comfort except in you Your blood washes me clean My shame you will turn to sheer praise My nudity you will cover with garments of righteousness In the darkest hour of my sin Your love shines through my situation
