Based on Matthew 9:1-8 and Hebrews 12:1

Jesus, my sin clings so closely
It’s hard to breathe
It’s hard to move on
The weight bears heavy
I cannot support myself
I’m trapped in the past, paralyzed by guilt and consequence

“Take heart your sins are forgiven.”

I rise and follow you home

Jesus, my sin clings so closely
I’ve confessed it before
Turned and walked a new path, but it reaches out to grab me again
It tells me the new isn’t true.

“Take heart, your sins are forgiven.”

I remember

Your power never falters, is never undone
Your power is complete

I re-member

I am whole in your love and grace
Hallelujah!
