Jesus took the weight of my sin
heavy, the color of dark crimson,
far more than guilt for what I had done
shame a weight upon my soul…
drowning my joy in life…
I felt a crushing defeat, emptiness,
a longing to be made whole
I wanted to rise from my pit,
to be restored to God…
to walk the streets of gold…
I have life only in letting go of my
shame,
though I carry still the scars of my guilt,
sin, the things I had done still haunt me
in the watches of the night…
but God has taken my shame…
heavy, the color of dark crimson,
far more than guilt for what I had done
shame a weight upon my soul…
drowning my joy in life…
a longing to be made whole
I wanted to rise from my pit,
to be restored to God…
to walk the streets of gold…
though I carry still the scars of my guilt,
sin, the things I had done still haunt me
in the watches of the night…
but God has taken my shame…
