I took Your rightful place #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

God, I confess my greatest sin,
My sin against You alone
I did not trust You to protect me,
I did not believe You loved me,
that You have given me an eternal home…
 
I took my fears, the pain I carried,
I made them my home, my gods,
idols of my own creation
While I was hiding, I was naked,
I took Your rightful place…
 
God, against You alone I have sinned
My sins are ever before me
they have been my chains,
my shackles, stones I have carried,
I have let my pain, my fears
control my very life…
 
I pray You will hear me,
that You will set me free…
How I long to serve You,
to walk with You,
to be healed by You, oh God…
