Time on the offense

Opportunities blown,

In selfish defense

Protecting my own,

Pride as my banner

Choosing the lie,

Recklessly roaming

Brazenly high,

Rejecting the good

Imagining ill,

Acting impulsively

In vanity still,

Unmerited favor,

Unwarranted love,

All grace bestowed

From heaven above,

On a wanderer like me,

An unrighteous mess,

Heart full of anger

You chose to bless.

Your beauty is brilliant,

Your holiness bright,

Almighty perfection,

Guiding my night!

Stunningly faithful,

My Father to me,

Stunningly faithful!

How can it be?
