Cleansing and Closure

"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13). "If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.... If we confess our sins, He if faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:7,9).

If we walk in the light with Jesus our Savior,
We're bound to catch sight of our sins.
The light from our Lord will expose our behavior
And check it from where it begins.

For even before our thought is a word
Or intentions have formed in our heart,
God is aware; He has seen and has heard
Our inventions before they can start.

So let us not foolishly make this mistake:
To cover our sins with a mask,
But rather confess them as well as forsake,
For cleansing is ours— if we ask!
