Soul Scan

Can You, Lord, do a CAT-Scan of my soul,
and save me from the cancer of my sin,
the deadly spiritual sicknesses that stole
the innocence and beauty found therein?

I need the radioactivity of Your grace,
the chemotherapy of Your mercy too,
that wipes out every tumor, every trace
temptation brings with sin’s malignant brew.

God, with Your great oncologist expertise,
Your spiritual radiology degree,
rain down Your nuclear graceful energy please,
and radiate my sin-sick soul for me.

I’ll pay the price of pain with my contrition,
if You, Lord, send my sins into remission.
