Admitting Our Brokenness

Not just our actions
the sins we can quantify
needing to admit our brokenness
the sin in our nature
our utter need
for the grace of God

He alone can heal the breach
the schism, the fall from grace
Only by his grace
are each of us restored
Christ alone, by his gift, his blood
only he is able to make a way
our path back to God at the end of our days
