John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Confession 2

I'm not a good Samaritan

Although I’d like to be

Mercy and compassion

Aren't words that describe me

And if I’m honest with myself

I don’t think that I’d stop and help

I’d hoard all my possessions

And I'd cling to all my wealth

Truthfully I’m more like David

Not strong or loyal, fierce or brave

I’d never go and fight Goliath

But I would scheme against Uriah

I’d covet things that were not mine

And in their taking cross the line

I’d turn my good friends into foes

Warm embraces into blows

And burn my bridges as I go

So don't ask me to lead God’s flock

I’m more a pebble than a rock

And I don’t have the kind of faith

That lets me walk across the waves

But just like Peter I'd deny

Three times before the rooster cried

I am not bold and all my pride

Just hides a coward deep inside

My heart is heavy, somewhat hard

Broken, wounded, full of scars

But despite all this still God decides

To choose me as his holy bride

And so with gratitude for love and grace

I’ll do my best to run this race

I’ll ask forgiveness, offer praise

And lose myself in His warm embrace
