your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O
LORD!
According to your steadfast love, LORD, remember me.
Not my sins.
Neither the sins of youthful ignorance and arrogance,
Nor the willful transgressions.
Thank you, God, that you separate sinner and sin.
Thank you for forgiving both what I do out of not knowing any better,
and what I do even though I know better.
Trusting you requires dealing with my sin, and God I'm afraid of
judgment whenever I draw near.
But you show a mercy that I don't understand -- you show me that your
judgment and justice are satisfied.
I don't deserve this life of trust and faith, I acknowledge my sin and
claim your mercy.
"Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
Your sins have hidden his face from you."
Isaiah 59:2
LORD I long to see your face.
