Penance

My weakness came over me
The ills I failed to see
In my errs please set me free
Guide me with your hands and lead my way

I promised myself to honor you my God
Though sometimes 
I’m troublesome and bad
Your mercy, you let me have
Now I know the meaning of 
your unconditional love

I’m so weak and I’m so wrong
My Lord, my heart to you belong
I’ll face your trials day by day
For your guidance I always pray

Lord I beg for your mercy
A sinner I don’t want to be
Show me the right way
I’ll follow it Lord for your glory

Who am I to refuse your love
You’re the only Saviour I had
Your protection Lord I’ll need
In my sins my heart do bleed

You’re the cure for my ailing soul
Lord I’ll follow your call
Immerse me in your goodness
Let me live in holiness
