I want to stare You squarely in the face,
and yet I know that's something I can't do
because I've brought You into such disgrace.
I really want to run away and hide,
and from Your watchful vision disappear,
I couldn't face You even if I tried,
I'd fear to face Your punishment severe.
And yet I know Your love can conquer all,
so long as I am sorry for my sin,
I know You catch me every time I fall,
no matter how much trouble I am in.
So maybe, Lord, I still can face You square,
and revel in the merciful love You share.
