ADD TO MY FAVORITES
with sins that buried me.
All the things I had tried
were failures, can’t you see.
I always asked forgiveness
as I committed another sin.
I was haggard, torn and abused
A wretched shape I was in.
Nothing seemed to matter
no one knew my plight.
I had fought and fought and fought
but had given up the fight.
My hell was growing larger
I could feel its heat.
I was alone, so all alone
was there someone I could meet?
I am just a mortal
just a foolish man.
I must remember
I’m just made of sand.
But I wailed and fought with God,
fought Him everywhere.
Because I was slow to learn
just how much He cared.
Finally I sat down.
in tears I called His name.
And in my sweet hour of prayer
blessed Savior came.
He said “God hasn't forgotten you
You’re written in His hand.
Stand up you are forgiven.
Stand up! You’ll find you can.”
I felt that I was lifted
right up off the ground.
And in my sweet hour of prayer
God is who I found.
Jesus was standing with Him
He had paid the price for me.
Now I’ve Jesus in my life
my life He has set free.
A peace has filled my body
I no longer grope.
I know I am forgiven
my life is full of hope.
When you feel you’re burdened
remember this one thing:
In your sweet hour of prayer
That’s when you’ll meet the King.
