My Songbook

A Sinner's Prayer - By a friend

Verse 1:

Here I am, a sinner. I have been here before.

Asking You to fix my shattered pieces on the floor.

I continue to falter, but You free me from my prison.

Why do You love me? Why do You call me Forgiven?

Chorus:

You created the world, You made each star.

You are almighty, the definition of beauty You are.

You are Lord of all, the finest linens You wear,

But You still listen to a sinner's prayer.

Verse 2:

I am awed at Your mercy, You fixed every piece.

I submit myself to You, come, give me You peace.

Though I may stumble, be pressed on each side,

You will be with me, the Holy Spirit, my guide.

Chorus:

You walked on water, You raised the dead.

You picked me from the darkness, forgiven, You said.

You are Everlasting Father, for all nations you care.

And you take time to listen to a sinners prayer.

Bridge:

Heavenly Father, Your name be praised.

You are King of kings and ancient of days.

Here I stand, lifting my hands.

Come fill me up and mend me again.

Take my heart, my soul, and body,

Fill me with the Spirit, refined and holy.

Forgive me my trespasses, though they are many.

Give me Your word so I can stand armed and ready.

Chorus:

Thank you Father, You answered my prayer.

I am ready to do Your bidding, send me anywhere.

You are Great and mighty, Your Word I will share,

Because You took time to listen to a sinners prayer.

Yo, peeps! That was weird. Remind me not to start an author's note like that ever again. As I was saying, greetings, fellow music nerds. Does that work? I feel like I need some sort of signature greeting. Let me know if you like that. Focus, Deanne. Seriously, get your brains all in one place for once. That sounded morbid and gross.

ANYHOO. Two songs in one day! Yay! This one was written by my very best friend, Chenney (SHAY-nee). And you should thank me, because it took quite a bit of convincing to get her to let me put it up here. Still working on getting her to let me put up her story... >_> *sigh*

Well, see ya'll later! Nope. That definitely did not work either. Oh well.
