Exalting you in my difficult moments

Because of my great sins,
I felt too ashamed to praise your name.

I did not want to touch my gift,
I felt too lousy to
glorify you.

Yet, somehow,
through your encouragement, God,
I have the courage to
come before you,
and exalt you
once again.

Was A Sinner

I am a sinner,
oh my Lord,
having difficulties breaking the chain
of sinning again and again.

I am a sinner,
oh my Lord,
taking you for granted,
hurting your heart again and again.

Grant it that I may say,
I was a sinner,
oh my Lord,
hurting you was something long ago,
I am now in paradise with you,
loving you again and again.

Attitude

Attitude is what matters,
yet it is something I so lack.

Attitude is what matters,
yet in its cultivation,
it makes me mad.

Attitude is what matters,
having it maybe
will make me glad.

Give me an attitude like yours,
my Lord and my God.

Imperfect Vessel

I am just an imperfect vessel,
Lord,
with two hands and with two feet.

I find life just a little bit tough,
Lord,
had to earn money so I can feed.

I like to praise and exalt you,
Lord,
your face I love to seek!

Job in danger

My job is in danger of being lost,
the God of providence,
please protect my job.

My life is in danger of prematuredly ending,
the God of salvation,
take away my desire to die.

You are worthy
of all praises,
at these dubious moments,
I exalt you!
