PRAYER Of A Contrite Heart

Thou God Seest Me

Not As I Am

But How In Christ Jesus I Can Be!

Oh, Holy God

Which Inhabitest Light

Because Of Thy Grace

Through Jesus Christ

I Can Forsake The Night!

Most Glorious God

Who Didst Sacrifice Thy All

So That I -  A Vile Sinner

May Be Cleansed Of The Stench Of The Fall

I Bless You!

I Love You!

I Honor The Great Name

And Seek Not For My Self

Power

Riches

Nor Fame!

I Come, Dear Father

Confessing

Repenting Of Known Sin

For

I Know That You Who Inhabit All Ages

Will Never Permit The Unrepentant

Your Holy Presence To Enter In!

I Know,  Dear Lord

That To The Public

I May Pretend To Be All Holy And Clean

Because

They Don't Know 

Of My Committing Public Sin

And

Because Of The Lying Impression

People Will Believe That I Will

Your Glory Enter In

But, Lord

You Don't Look At My Externals

You Look Deep

Into The Heart Of Me

And If My Heart

Is Not In Line With Your Word, Lord

Marooned

From Your Presence

Is What I Will Be

For Ever

For Eternity!

So, Lord

Accept This Offering

As My Prayer Of Confession!

Accept, Dear Lord

My Repentance For My Sin

As My Contrite Heart's Mournful Apology!

I Beseech You, Dear Lord

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous King

Whose Eternal Merits I Claim

To Help Me To No More To Walk

In The Ways Of The Wicked And Vain

And

To Help Me To Disclaim The Ways

Of Presumptuous Self-righteous Humanity!

Pity Me, Dear Lord

- For I Can Never Pity Myself Enough -

And Help Me To Do Right

To Live Right

And

To Walk Right

So That In The Great Day

I Will Be Well Rid

Of This Moldering

Tabernacle Of Dust

And Put On Your Promised Gift

Of Incorruptible Immortality!

Help Me, Dear Lord

To Always Keep The Life Of My Lord Christ

In Clear And Unobstructed Plain View

That I May Be Changed Into The Divine Likeness

So That

At The Appointed Time

I May Reside 

In The Heavens And The Earth Made New 

Eternally With You!

Lord, I Give You Praise!

AMEN
