Secret Sin
I share my faith
With most people I meet
I give to the poor
Especially beggars on the street
I read my Bible
Almost each and every day
If someone is struggling
I have encouraging things to say
I invite others to church
So the gospel can be heard
…But about my secret sin…
I haven’t breathed a word
Someday I’ll confess
But the timing must be right
I don’t want to be rebuked
Or given some deep insight
I want to be respected
Not viewed as one who’s weak
I know that I’ll be judged
If I decide to speak
God, please forgive me…
As only you can
I need to fear you
More than I fear man
I’ve focused on my deeds
The things that man can see
But you focus on my heart
And things done secretly
I must continue my deedsSo that others might be saved
But I must confess my sins…and repent
So that I’m no longer enslaved posted by Jerry Maday
