forgive us our trespasses

Turning around and climbing back over the barbed wire fence or quietly sneaking out the back door will not help. When you go where you do not belong, damage is done even if you don’t see it yet. Property gets destroyed and trust gets violated.

Psalm 111:9
He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.




I know now

I took a walk down to the river
A broken heart in my hands
Before the Taker and the Giver
To make my final stand

I waded out into the water
And I sank just like a stone
But I was lifted by the Angel
To never be alone

And I never knew
I could lay my burdens down
And I never knew
Redemption could be found
But I know now

I saw Your mercy in the morning
In the color of the sky
I let the Spirit wash me over
And the sun began to rise

And I never knew
I could lay my burdens down
And I never knew
Redemption could be found
But I know now

I took a walk down to the river
And I laid my burdens down
Before the Taker and the Giver
And I am finally found
And I am finally found

Someone asked me this week if it was possible to be redeemed. I believe it is possible, through a process of repentance and forgiveness, with a Saviour to guide the way.
