Confession of Sin –
O God of Grace,
Thou hast imputed my sin to my
substitute,
And has imputed his righteousness
to my soul,
Clothing me with
a bridegroom’s robe,
Decking me with
jewels of holiness.
But in my Christian walk I am
still in rags;
My
best prayers are stained with sin;
My
penitential tears are so much impurity;
My
confessions of wrongs are so many aggravations of sin;
My receiving of the Spirit is punctured with
selfishness.
I need to repent of my
repentance;
I need my tears to be washed;
I have no robe to bring to cover
my sin,
No
loom to weave my own righteousness;
Thou blessed Spirit, Author of
all Grace & Comfort
Come, work repentance in my soul;
Represent sin to me in its odious
colours that I may hate it;
Melt my heart by the majesty and
mercy of God;
Show me my ruined self & the
help there in Him;
Teach me to behold my Creator,
His
ability to save,
His
arms outstreached,
His
heart big for me.
May I confide in his power &
love,
Commit
my soul to him without reserve,
Bear
his image,
Observe
his laws,
Pursue
his service,
And
be through time and eternity
A
monument to the efficacy of his grace,
A
trophy of his victory.
Make me willing to be saved in
this way,
Perceiving
nothing in myself, but all in Jesus.
