Someone Else\'s Sin

It’s pessimistic, cynical, it’s sardonic and jaded

But the sun has risen, let the light in, my soul faded

Of these walls, what could be outside

Anxieties and the past have me terrified

 

But I’m even more scared of what it’s doing to me to live coldly

You command me to love, so help me live boldly

If I found nothing then, help me turn to You tomorrow to find meaning in the rain

Living in yesterday has gotten me nowhere, I’ve been staring at my scars in vain

 

I want to do better, I want to do right by others and for You

My fears are real, but Your compassion, love and grace are true

I want to reach out, I want to let them in

Please help me forgive them for someone else’s sin
