I Stand Here





It’s judgment day and I stand here,
at the alter of the Son.
My sins are many, and I can’t help,
but think of every one.

How can I explain it?  
For I have no excuse.
Each sin is mine alone to bear,
I suffered no abuse.

It seems like hours I’ve waited,  
(Though, only moments pass)
But time here has no meaning
and I stand by him at last.

His voice so soft cuts through me.  
He asks what I’ve to say.
I cannot ask forgiveness,
so I just turn away.

I feel a hand upon me,
as tears course down my face.
Is it them (or only him)
that washed my pain away.

I know I don’t deserve it,
Heaven, in spite of sin.
But I stand here just the same;
by the Son, invited in.
