I Do Confess

If you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift your life
Should that be all I'll ever need
or is there more I'm looking for

and should I read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
To make me handsome, rich, and wise
Is that really what you want

I am a whore I do confess
I put you on just like a wedding dress
and I
run down the aisle
I run down the aisle
I'm a prodigal with no way home
I put you on just like a ring of gold
and I run down the aisle
I run down the aisle
to you

So could you love this bastard child
Though I don't trust you to provide
With one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side

Cause I am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers so less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood

I am a whore I do confess
I put you on just like a wedding dress
and I
run down the aisle
I run down the aisle
I'm a prodigal with no way home
I put you on just like a ring of gold
and I run down the aisle
to you

Where is my heart?

Where is my passion for the Gospel?

Where is my broken and contrite spirit?



I am a religious pharisee.


My planned 2 days of solitude this Friday and Saturday could not be coming at a better time. I am desperately in need of some time alone with the Lord. I need time to think, to pray, to write, to be still, to cry out. There is a lot for Jesus and I to talk about, a lot to pray about, a lot to plan about.

I am really looking forward to that. Please be praying for me, that these 2 days would be fruitful and a time of much-needed rest, conviction, and encouragement with Jesus.
