Regardless of...

Everyday, I face difficulties.
Trials that wear me down,
burdens so heavy on my soul.
I can't think of a day
that goes by without sin.
Sin in so many different forms,
multiple guises all aimed
to take me to the ground.
These are my daily trials.

Everyday your mercy is new.
A promise that holds me up,
a love poured over my soul.
I can't think of a day
that goes by without Your love.
Grace in so many different forms,
family, friends, brothers, sisters,
all there to help me stand.
These are my daily blessings.

Yes, I have failed countless times over.
Yes, I have been a tarnish to Your name.
Yes, I am a wretched sinner.
All of these are true, but above it all
Your Word is truth, and You say,
"I have redeemed you."
"I have made you clean."
"I love you."
I take a step forward and two steps back,
but You have taken all the steps I needed
to walk right into Your arms.

Amen.
