I'm coming now on bended knee

I'm asking Lord, please hear my plea.

Draw me much closer dear Father above

And fill my heart with Christ-like love.

It seems I'm always asking for stuff.

I'll never be able to thank You enough.

I can't comprehend the greatness of You

Nor can I understand all of the things you do.

I'm sorry for offending and causing you grief.

I've robbed You of glory like a dirty-rotten thief!

With Your mercy and forgiveness, have pity on me.

I'm such an lowly sinner, I'm sure You can see.

I'm loaded with sin and I'm miserable inside.

I'm so terribly ashamed I want to run and hide.

I know I don't deserve it and I'm asking a big task,

But please forgive my sins and cleanse me fast.

Lord I'm listening as you softly speak,

Telling me you've granted this request I seek.

Oh, I feel so refreshed and filled with delight

That I'll praise You all day and into the night.

And where ever I am I know You'll be there.

For I know you love me and really do care!

You'll be on my mind and deep in my heart.

Each day renewed; with a brand new start.
