Jeremiah XVII

Oh Lord, I pray,
I am sorry for my ways,
I am sorry to have angered you so,
For my old ways that where ones of this world broke your heart,
And angered you so,
I did not see my unwise ways,
Nor did I know you then,
From my choices I have upset you most deeply,
In the ways of the world I have sinned,
I’m a sinner saying sorry,
Sorry to cause such anger and grief Lord,
You are my father and I love you,
Forgive my evil old ways of being,
Forgive my past oh Lord,
I cherish the sacrifice you made by giving your son to the people of this world,
Every whip and every lash, the nails stuck in his hands,
I can see Lord, my trails have been your refinements,
You’ve brought me back to you Lord.
And as I learn, and as I read I thank you for your mighty ways,
Thank you for protecting me,
I often don’t understand your ways,
I didn’t see it coming, not until I read Jeremiah 17,
It hit me like a tonne of bricks Lord,
The layers of my days.
As a mum, I am blessed to know your love for me,
For I feel for my children the same,
You are the greatest father I have,
Transforming my world in unworldly ways.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
