Lord Jesus, look deeply into my soul:
look past its many fractures and sin-stains;
look past harsh words spoken, hurt feelings' pains
inflicted, and the frequent petulances---
all these arising from my ignorance's
long presence and the grip of its control.
But underneath all these, a concentration
upon Your promises, clings to Your Word:
and having called to You, my cry was heard,
and, at once, You provided my Salvation.
