A sinner, Lord, behold I stand,
In thought and word and deed;
But Jesus sits at thy right hand,
For such to intercede.
From early infancy, I know,
A rebel I have been;
And daily as I older grow,
I fear I grow in sin.
But God can change this evil heart,
And give a holy mind,
And His own heavenly grace impart,
Which those who seek shall find.
Then let me all my sins confess,
And pardoning grace implore,
That I may learn Thy righteousness,
And love my Savior more.
-Jane Taylor
