When All Is Said And Done

When all is said and done I will stand before God with empty hands

All I have is a life covered by His forgiveness, grace, and mercy

I wish I could say I was blameless, but I’m not

I wish I could say I have always done what is right, but I haven’t

I wish I could say I have never done wrong to my neighbor, but I can’t

But even though I have failed, God has remained faithful to me

He sees my desire and He knows my heart

I come to Him with unclean hands, unclean thoughts, and unclean deeds

And He washes them with the blood shed by His Son

I come to Him in my emptiness, my despair, and my unworthiness

And He fills me and makes me whole

He is the forever flowing fountain of living water that flows, giving me life

He clothes me and covers me with His love, His peace, and His joy

He invites me to sojourn with Him in His tent and sit in His Presence

When all is said and done He is all that matters to me.
