From Psalm 51:3: “For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.”
Lost soul in the wickedest valleys of life
Needing directions, take away this strife
Life’s transgressions mount, God knows them all
Living a life of denial, witnessing an arrogant fall
Every day takes one deeper and deeper into sin
Losing awareness, asking where have we been?
When born, God knows our sinful ways
Needing God to teach wisdom each day
Life continues to carry us on the very same road
Walking and falling, becomes frustrating and cold
God delivers His judgement, He feels justified
Viewing our sin-filled cravings, never satisfied
Life’s journey demands we find a different route
Using God’s compass, His directions carry clout
God brings deliverance, a better means to live
Declaring praise to our Lord, offerings to give
Another wayward life takes a detour from the Pit
Cleansing of sin, God’s road creates a better fit
God teaches an upright way, follow and trust
Purging all evil, washing white our sinful lust
God’s steadfast love delivers a redeeming route
Hearing God’s joy, His compass brings us about
