Listen close, let truth be told
James 5 16, a story to unfold
Confess your faults, drop the heavy load
To one another, down this righteous road
Pray for your brother, sister, and kin
Healing's touch, let it seep within
Cause when the righteous kneel and start to plead
A fervent prayer, plants a powerful seed
It breaks the chains, shatters every wall
An answered call, standing strong and tall
So let's unite, hearts open wide
In His grace, together we abide
No more secrets, no more hidden pain
In Jesus' name, we rise again
A righteous prayer, a mighty force
Changing lives, charting a new course
Wash me clean, make me whole
Heal this weary, burdened soul
In Your grace, I find release
A path to love, a way to peace
Lift me up, on wings of lite
Guide my steps, from darkest nite
With every breath, I'll sing Your praise
In Your love, I'll spend my days
Check it out let truth resound
Sin's shadow lurks on sacred ground
A moment's lapsea memory stings
Weakness whispers as conscience sings
Confession's key, unlocks the soul
Releases burdens, makes spirits whole
Bottled up pain a toxic brew
Unleash the valve let healing break thru
James' words echo clear and brite
Confess then pray with all your mite
Seek forgiveness lift each other hi
In unity's strength we touch the sky
Negative vibes they lose their sting
As grace descends on hopeful wing
So drop the mask let honesty shine
In shared redemption the divine
Wash me clean, make me whole
Heal this weary, burdened soul
In Your grace, I find release
A path to love, a way to peace
Lift me up, on wings of lite
Guide my steps, from darkest nite
With every breath, I'll sing Your praise
In Your love, I'll spend my days
Hear my plea a humble start
Sins confessed laid bare my heart
Gluttony's grip lust's fiery sting
Greed's dark hunger pride's false king
Sorrow's weight wrath's burning fire
Vanity's mask sloth's deep mire
Judged others with a blind decree
Failed to see the fault in me
Love for foes a distant shore
Neighbor's need I did ignore
But now I rise with strength anew
To mend my ways in all I do
Forgive, O Lord make me complete
A refuge find from sin's deceit
Thine is the power the glory, the crown
Deliver me from evil's frown
Wash me clean, make me whole
Heal this weary, burdened soul
In Your grace, I find release
A path to love, a way to peace
Lift me up, on wings of lite
Guide my steps, from darkest nite
With every breath, I'll sing Your praise
In Your love, I'll spend my days
James 5 16
Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I have been gluttonous, lustful, greedy, proud, filled with sorrow, wrathful, vain, and slothful. I have condemned others without even examining myself. I have not always loved my enemies nor loved my neighbors as myself. I can do better and must do better. Forgive me, O Lord, and make me whole! I pray that You strengthen me this day and all days, serving as my refuge against temptation. Deliver me from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, Amen
