How Many Sins?
Oh Lord, how many sins of my past must
I remember - I can't get rid of them.
Help me Lord, to close the door to my
former way of life and sin.

I have repented all the sins that I can
recall and I know there are many.
I believe you have forgiven me - so why
can't I not think of any?

Come to me Lord and heal this problem of
mine - help me out, come to my aide.
Don't let me stay in this life if all I'm going
to do is think of the mistakes I've made.

Come Lord, come into my heart, cleanse
me inside and out completely.
For only then, will I be able to have
my spirit free.

Yes Lord, it does no good to worry or fret
I am aware of what You have said.
Give me peace, Dear Lord, let my memories be happy ones 'til the day I'm dead!
