A Repentant Sinner


"Lord, I did this, and I'm sorry,"
I gave to Him my sin.
"And if You do not mind, My Lord,
I would be clean again."

Do not you know the Scriptures?
I shall forget thy crime.
O, Child, you have come to Me;
I'll do it every time.

"But Lord!  how I have fallen!
And God, I am not pure!"
But Child, still I love you;
In this thing be sure.

He took my sin then from me,
And laid it by the side.
O, Child, come thou to My arms;
Let Me be thy guide.

"Oh, Father, how could You love me?
I Thy blood denied!"
Dear Child, now remember this;
My love the oceans hide.

I died upon a tree for thee;
I shall thy sins forgive. 
And in My light thy days shall shine;
And in My love, you'll live.

I who should the Lord condemn,
Now stand in grace so free;
And I shall never soon forget,
The love He showed to me.
