The Psalm
Psalm 103:10 (CSB) He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.
The Prayer
Lord
My sins
deserve the worst of your wrath
the deepest hells
the worst consequences
And I had suffered
through my own sins
here on my earth
In your great holiness
you could have left me to rot
you could have hardened my heart
fashioned me into a vessel of wrath
prepared me for destruction
and left me to my own devices
and died
and judged me forever
and hated me forever
I was the worst sinner
the chief of treason
In no ways
did I do one thing
to get you to notice me
to get you to love me
and care for me
to give me grace
to grant me mercy
But
because you are rich in mercy
you lavish me with grace upon grace
and you love me
you saw my condition
and you knew I was going to die
That is why
you sent your Son
to snatch from the pit of hell
and sit me at your dinner table
forever and ever
Who is like, Lord?
And who can compare to you?
You alone are worthy.
Amen
