Confession Of Faith Poem by Jacob Courtney

Confession of Faith

I stand before you as a man in fear
Of what has become of me a man who
Believes but struggles to keep hold of what
Is most holy. I hear the call to resist temptation
Yet without Gods strength I fall giving into
This world and her sinful ways. I confess my sins
And utter my words foregoing my pride
Surrendering myself to you. You have
Blessed me Lord with many things I
Beg of thee forgive me absolve me of
My sins allow me to bear you fruits
Of righteousness. Let my life be consumed
With love let my heart grow becoming
Deeply rooted in your wisdom. Guide me
In this life, lead me home where your
Light will shine let me worship at
Your feet.
