When I turn
To sing Your praise
I am stopped short
Because I am a hypocrite
How can I sing
Of trusting You
When disobedience marks my way

So I sit in my shame
And open my mouth no more

Yet You want more from me
Knowing my shame is not enough
You require true repentance
For me to turn around
And set my face as flint to do what is right

So I leave my sin for You to deal with
And resolve to set things right
And no credit to me either
For I can only repent because You help me
Your grace gives me strength and opportunity
In grace You are patient with me
May I not take it lightly
But give You thanks
And live in continued obedience
