undeserving

Jesus hung on the cross

His shoulders weighted with my sins

God had to turn away

No longer able to look at him

"My God, why have you forsaken me?",

With an anguish filled voice He cried.

Soon after He said "It is finished."

And bowing His head, he died

I am undeserving of seeing Heaven

Undeserving of God's endless love

But because of Jesus' sacrifice

Paradise waits for me above

I am undeserving but the price

So steep has been paid

By the man who rose from the tomb

From which He was laid

There are days I fall backward

There are days I stumble and slide

But I always ask His forgiveness

From God my sins I can't hide

When I feel lost and abandoned

In this world I seem adrift

I simply cling to my anchor

God's most precious, holy gift

I am undeserving of God's mercy

I do not deserve His forgiveness

But because of my love for Jesus

I know he offers nothing less

When my trials here are over

And I am standing before the Son

Though undeserving I pray I hear

“My faithful servant, well done.”
