A PENITENT'S VOICE

With my eyes,

I look up to the clouds,

my heart seeking for redemption,

wondering if it will ever be for me

I gaze endlessly at the heavens,

searching for God's salvation;

raising my voice so he would hear me,

and save me from the hands of devourers out to destroy!

To him I go crying,

my voice ringing bitterly as I call out to him,

with my knees kissing the bare ground!

From his heavenly throne,

He looks down to me,

watching every step I take,

and hearing every word that eludes my lips;

My heart is searched,

and buried within,

lies an ocean of sin

But yet true remorse is found,

and I be purged with hyssop,

and made a new creation
