Have Mercy

Have mercy, Oh God.
For I continually stray away from you.
I let myself get distracted
and allow my passion for you to dwindle.
I am a sinner and on my own,
I cannot defeat the sin that binds me.
Oh, how I long to be rid of this chain,
yet my will is easily broken with my own cunning.
God, my God,
rescue me from myself,
free me from the chains I wrap around myself.
Restore the brokenness hidden inside me
and help me to be the man,
You, created me to be.
