Humble Penitence – v12

Within our giving of thanks

our offering of praise

thanks to our Father

who saved us by grace

who has given us so much;

humble penitence

for our continuing in our sin.

Forgetting our Father,

the One who has given us all,

believing we are the source

the reason for our abundance

when it was the Father;

Humble penitence to God

that we would return to Him.

Without giving thanks

our humble penitence to God

turning, rejecting, leaving our sin;

we know we deny Him,

disobey, hurt Him

our sin keeping Christ

upon our cross.
