A Portrait of My God: Forgiving

So, I decided to write a collection of poems/songs that paint a portrait of God and His attributes.

The first one is that He is forgiving.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Ephesians 1:7 "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."

Colossians 2:6 "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him."

From my knees I look up

Into your face, my King of Grace

Humbled and broken by my sin

I long for joy within

All my life I have searched

For truth and peace, Lord to be free

Now as I'm kneeling at your feet

I ask you to make me clean

I hear you say, "Lift up you face.

You are forgiven my child"

The blood you shed upon the cross

Covers this sinner so vile

Here at your throne, standing alone

I find your mercy is free

I shout your name and gratefully say

You pardoned me

I am new, praise your name

Nor more in chains, no more to blame

For you have taken all my guilt

And made it all your own

I'm a light to the lost

Shining brightly in the darkness

Telling sinners of your great love

And how they can find rest

I hear you say,"Walk in my way

Faithfully serving your Lord.

For you I died upon the cross

Now in my love you're adorned."

Here at your throne, standing alone

I give my life to my King

I should your name and gratefully say

You pardoned me
