Once Again, Lord

Once again, I come here before you.
     Lord you know how I've wandered and strayed.
But I cling to the promise of Jesus,
     and I trust in the debt he has paid.

So I ask you dear Lord to forgive me,
     for the sins and the wrong I have done.
Help me ever return to your mercy,
     and to trust in the grace of your Son.
