I acknowledge my guilt O Lord
I strip off all my layers
Layers of creating my identity
Layers of false religion
Layers of hiding
Layers of lies
Ones with me all my life
Cover my nakedness
Clothe my shame
Let me choose this day
To forsake it all
My flesh, my sin, my old understanding
Forsake the enemy
With all my being
Let me choose this day
To hate my life in this world
To despise my own righteousness
Into the grave I go
The only way I can
For I've tried all else
This Self preservation life
Only destruction awaited
Crucified, for what Christ paid for
For what His blood has purchased
My freedom
My freedom
Then what right do I have?
To hold on to the old?
I repent for the accusations
That you were a cruel God
That you couldn't be trusted
That you'd fail to pull through
That you were stingy
Rejecting the promise of new life
Jesus, I'm sorry.
I sought after others
I considered what the enemy had to offer
I told myself it was okay
Deliver me O God!
My soul in so much anguish
Two spirits waging war
I cannot live this lukewarm lie
My spirit I commit to you
I will not flee when you shine the light
Speak the word
And I will be healed
You are the true and living God
You are good, your word confirms it
All creation bears witness
You came that I may have life
And have it abundantly
Let my words be true
Not just lofty promises
This day let me crucify
The old me, the newmi, the trumi, and the Eumi
