Face Down

Lord, it's me again,
sitting here in the muck and mess
of my own making.

I know it was wrong.
I knew that I shouldn't.
And yet, I did.

It was wrong, and yet
it's so hard to turn from it--
to let it go--to move on.

I'm asking you to change my heart
to change my mind
to set me free.

I thank you, Lord, that you
are a god of second chances
and third and fourth. . .

That you rescue me again
and again
and again. . .

So much to be blessed for! What would we do without God's forgiveness over and over again? :+)
