Lord please forgive me,

for straying from Your word.

The punishment for my sin is death,

and it’s death that I deserve.

Yet somehow You forgive me,

not because of what I’ve done.

But because of the love You showed for me,

on the cross through Your Son.

I know I that don’t deserve Him.

That my life is just a waste.

But to You my soul is priceless,

and Your mercy saves my fate.

So I lay my life before You,

to surrender is to live.

In Your eyes this is my greatest gift,

and a gift I gladly give.
