The Sirens' Call + Prayer: Forgive, Lord, Our Sin

I spent the day laid up
And all that I could hear
Was siren after siren
Screaming, screaming as they passed my way!

The Noise  - it was Incessant
It got under your skin
I almost wished it would stop
But ... I started to look in:

These sirens told The Story
Of what Mankind had Lost
It also told The Message of
What Sin itself had us Cost!

Had we Listened to Our Maker
Had we not Failed The Test
We would not now be Suffering the Results of Death 
By Sin's Request!

Oh, Lord, You know we are Feeble

Nothing but dust and air

Please have on us Your Mercy

For there is much for us to Fear!

We cannot Heal our Bodies!

We cannot Heal our Hearts!

We cannot Fix The Cost of Sin -

Lord, we'd be shooting black ducks in the dark!

Forgive us, oh Lord, our Trespasses!

Forgive us today our Debts!

Heal us today of our Failings and

Let help us to not have Vain Regrets!

You are our Heavenly Father

Jesus Christ is Our Savior and Coming King, and

The Holy Spirit is ever Our Comforter

So, in pity, please Draw us

Closer, ever Closer

and

Forgive, Lord, our Sin

and

Guide us Home, at The Trumpet

to 

That Blessed, Heavenly, Reward!

AMEN.
