Psalm 96 - Psalms of Steel by Robert Dean Steel
Lord it is with a heart of sorrow,
That I look at myself today and I have been ignorant.
This ignorance has mislead and deceived me.
It has also done this to my entire generation.
Our sin has led us away from you.
Our consciences are seared and we have been unaware of you.
Our morals and values have become rotten. Forgive us Lord.
This deception has led to self confidence, self reliance and self absorption.
We think of only of ourselves and pleasure.
We spend all our talents, treasures and time on us.
Lord save us from ourselves before it is too late.
These lies have kept sin in our hearts.
It rules us, instead of us ruling it.
Lord rescue us from the perils of self.
Lord we cannot stand in your righteousness.
But in the self righteousness of man which destroys.
We think we are righteous but our righteousness is as filthy rags.
This deception has separated us from you.
We are blind, naked, lame and poor. Lord help us.
You alone can save. In your mercy open our eyes.
Help us to see the folly of this deception.
There is still hope, a choice of faith.
Let your love rescue us from this peril.
Our ignorance has been both intentional and ignorant.
We are now in the hour of decision and the Holy Spirit has spoken.
Lord let us turn from our ignorance to enlightenment.
Lord give us light, life and the truth of the Lord.
Let it bring with it, righteousness, holiness and freedom.
