When my patience is exhausted
and anger builds within,
remind me of your forbearing love
the mercy you unceasingly extend
that I may reflect your kindness
When all I see is the sin of others
and pride hinders grace
remind me of Your holiness
that I may fall on Your feet
and lament for my unworthiness
When the hurt is unbearable
and it is hard to forgive
remind me to come to You
that I may lay down my burden
and rest in Your peace
When my sin is abounding
and the shame is overwhelming
remind me that You love me,
that I may come to Your throne with confidence
because in Christ, I am welcome
Help me not to harden my heart
when I hear Your voice in Your Word
Pierce my soul as you will
and discern the thoughts of my heart
Hold me fast, Jesus, my High Priest
for You know my weaknesses,
and sympathize with them
Teach me to obey
as You did in Your suffering
When all of this is done
and I'll stand in front of You,
I'll remember the pain no longer
Nothing else will matter
The promise of eternity being lived
by a sinner saved by grace
My heart is finally at home
and at home only in You
