Thank You 2

Thank You for being my Strength
when I asked for help
not leaving me to die
to fight my sin myself,

Thank You for loving me
and offering a new start
thank You for seeking a response from me
instead of on me giving up,

Thank You for looking out for me,
even though i had gone astray
You cared enough to seek after me
and provide for me each day,

Thank You for being patient
and although You HATE my sin
You have not in rage
sealed my fate
but give me the option to repent

be gentle please

please be gentle with me Lord
i am fragile and wounded
help me to catch my breath
and recover again

i am not a warrior
i am not strong
though i once thought i was

i am instead a failure
depending on Your grace each day
in all my thinking
and in all my folly
and in all i am
i have no strength to save myself

i am helpless
and depend completely on You
please do not be angry with me beyond measure
but be gentle
recognising my weakness

help me to not give up
