Because I Knew Not When My Life Was Good
Author: Sarah Williams Hymnal: The Hymnbook #274 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Topics: Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness Refrain First Line: O, Lord, I do repent Lyrics: 1 Because I knew not when my life was good,
And when there was a light upon my path,
But turned my soul perversely to the dark,
O Lord, I do repent.
2 Because I held upon niy selfish road,
And left my brother wounded by the way,
And called ambition duty, and pressed on,
O Lord, I do repent.
3 Because I spent the strength Thou gavest me
In struggle which Thou never didst ordain,
And have imperfect life to offer Thee,
O Lord, I do repent.
4 Because I was impatient, would not wait,
And thrust my willful hand across Thy threads,
And marred the pattern drawn out for my life,
O Lord, I do repent.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 18:13 Tune Title: PEACE

Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears:
Before the throne my surety stands,
Before the throne my surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
2 He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood, to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers;
They strongly plead for me:
"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry,
"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry,
"Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"
4 The Father hears Him pray,
His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away
The presence of His Son:
His Spirit answers to the blood,
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
5 My God is reconciled;
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child;
I can no longer fear:
With confidence I now draw nigh,
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And "Father, Abba, Father," cry. Scripture: Hebrews 7:25 Languages: English Tune Title: LENOX
Arise, My Soul, Arise

Lord, from the Depths to Thee I Cried
Hymnal: The Hymnbook #277 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried:

Shouldst mark iniquity?
But yet with Thee forgiveness is,
That feared Thou mayest be.

My soul waits for the Lord;

The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with Him mercies be.

Is ever found with Him:

He Israel shall redeem.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: The Hymnbook #271 (1955) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:5 Tune Title: TOPLADY

With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,

4 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
