Unworthy

Lord, I wandered in the wilderness
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I stayed away from your church,
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I strayed away from the faith of my youth
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I thought I didn’t need the church
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I lived my life outside of a faith community
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I did my own thing
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I was lost
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I violated your commandments, your laws
You saved me even though I am a sinner
I have sinned against my neighbor and against you
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You brought me back to the flock
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You welcomed me in
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You gave me a home in your church
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You taught me Your Word
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You gave me gifts beyond measure
You saved me even though I am a sinner
You showed me where to serve
You saved me even though I am a sinner
Help me to never stray again
You saved me even though I am a sinner
Amen.
