What have I done? What did I do?
When I gave reign to sin?!
Why did I not, when I was tempt,
Yield to Thy voice within?
What have I done? What shall I do?
For I've much grief within;
I thought to spare myself much pain,
When I gave leave to sin.
How foolish was I! What made sense?
For Wisdom's way is peace.
The way of sinners' only pain.....
Why did I not Thee heed???
I've sinned, O Lord,....what shall I say?
Thou knowest all my sins---
I now confess what I have done:
Forgive me all my sins.
Forgive my sin and heal the pain,
Restore Thy peace within;
Cause me Thy Way to caref'lly keep,
And keep me back from sin!
