I Will Not Remember Your Sins
With shame and sorrow, I come to Your Table, Lord,
My failures, my sins make me afraid to come to God.
“I, even I am He who blots out your transgressions,”
From these words, I am filled with needed inspiration.
My sins are ever before me, and I hang my head in shame,
I have not kept Your word, I have dishonoured Your name.
“I will blot out your transgressions, for My own sake,”
With these words, I draw near, my deep thirst to slake.
How I wish I could be stronger but I am but a mere man,
I fall all too easily, and I ruin my carefully laid out plans.
“I will not remember your sins!” What precious words of love!
My heart is greatly moved to draw nearer to the Lord above!
So many sins in life beset me and I am often distressed,
But the Lord bids me come and find in Him the needed rest.
I come to Your table, remembering the price that was paid;
Upon the Lord Jesus Christ, all my transgressions are laid!
How thankful we must be that we have such a salvation!
Our transgressions are blotted out in His great redemption.
The Lord will not remember our sins for the sake of His name,
Now may we lift up our head and not be covered in shame!
Inspiration: Isaiah 43:25
