Lord,
I lay my sorry life
Before you –
Folly, weakness,
Ignorance,
And fear.
Sickness, sin,
Self-pity,
Deep resentment –
This is the
Wretched harvest
Of each year.
Hear me, Lord,
As I bow down
Before you;
Save me,
Though I have betrayed
Your trust.
Forgive my sins;
Restore and heal
My body;
And lift up
My poor spirit
From the dust.
