O Lord, I sought You favor, In everything I did; I only sought to do Your will, But I fell far short instead; I read throughout the bible, To learn what I should do; I voiced Your word to others, Yet I felt so unapproved; I thought I was doing good, But it just wasn't enough; I know that I touched others, But I did not know Your love; I thought so many times, I've let it go on too long; I've disobeyed so many times, From my life, You're finally gone; I thought I had committed, The most unpardonable sin; What it was, I did not know, I felt condemned, again and again; I began to resent those things, I knew to do, but did not do; I began to resent Christianity, But worse of all, I resented You; I now see the guilt I've felt, Was mostly from my own mind; Taking on too much, too soon, I felt I had little time; I started out to seek Your favor, And do nothing that I thought wrong; But what I didn't realize is, I had Your favor all along;
