Confessions*

 

1) Though I'm not at all what I'd like to be, 

 I hope you'll understand. . .  

My thoughts and deeds aren't "good as gold":  

They're more like worthless sand. 

 2) So far as east is from the west,  

So far my sin's removed.**  

Embraced by Jesus's perfect grace, 

I know I'm always loved.  

3) My love for God is really true, 

My faith in Him sincere:

Now I reach to others, too,  

4) To show I really care.  

So after a trying day of work,  

When stress just runs away, 

I hope you realize I know inside 

It's still a lovely day!

Hi, David. Thanks for checking in! I just did an audio of this on my Instagram, too! Seemed like a nice short one to start with. I wish, though, that I had not put a "cover photo" on it because I think it sort of wrecked the effect.

Anyway, take care & be blessed!
