"Finally I Confessed"

Jehovah... I have carried this so long. My bones are tired. My spirit is dry. But tonight... tonight I will not keep silent anymore. When I kept silent, my bones wore thin Every morning heavier than the one before Your hand would not let go, day and night it held And my strength dried up like summer water on the floor I could not look at you I could not lift my head My errors towered over me A burden I was never made to bear But the man who hides will never find his way And I am tired of drowning in what I'm afraid to say So here I am, with nothing left to cover Finally I confessed I laid it all before your name I said, "I will tell Jehovah everything" And you, you pardoned me You lifted every weight I could not carry You took my crimson shame And called it clean You swept my sins away like morning clouds That burn and vanish when the sun breaks through As far as where the sunrise meets the sky That's how far you carried all I put you through Where scarlet stained my hands You pressed them white as snow You said, "I will not remember what you've done" And I believe you, because I feel it go You know the dust we're made of, every fault and every fall And still you bend like a father when he hears his broken child call So here I stand, with nothing left to cover Finally I confessed I laid it all before your name I said, "I will tell Jehovah everything" And you, you pardoned me You lifted every weight I could not carry You took my crimson shame And called it clean Happy is the one whose sin is covered Happy is the man you do not charge with guilt Jehovah, you have made me whole A broken heart... You will not turn away A crushed spirit... You hold it close and say... "I am faithful. I will cleanse you. Every stain, I wash away." You did not wait for me to earn it You did not count what I deserve You opened up your arms the moment I found the courage to say the word And I am CLEAN Finally I confessed I gave it all to you, Jehovah I held back nothing, and you held back nothing You pardoned me You carried every sin as far as east is from the west Seasons of refreshing pour like rain Be joyful! Rejoice! Shout with gladness, every upright heart! My God has set me free "I will make you have insight... and instruct you in the way you should go. I will give advice... with my eye upon you." He sees you. He is waiting. Confess... and be free.
