A Few Of My Favorite Sins


After enjoying the spring, summer and fall…I come to winter of my life…or as some refer to it as “circling the drain years”.  Most of the stress and panic of keeping up with the “Jones” is behind me…I gotten over that…once I discovered it was all mortgaged.  And now that the hormones have gone into hibernation…all the passion and excitement of youth is just a fond memory. 

With each tightening circle of the drain…the lust has been replaced with love and the jealously has taken a back seat to selfishness and pride.

It seems self-centeredness and self-importance is all that I have left…these are a few of my favorite sins.

But, I’ve grown tired of life’s charade
I know my values have been mislaid
It’s time to give up my masquerade
For God’s intentions I have betrayed.

After all the games I have played
From you Lord I have strayed
It is my principles I must trade
Now…as my world starts to fade.

After pondering a decision weighed
I call on you, Jesus, for some aid
Counting on YOUR promises made
I am ready for a big upgrade.

There is no reason to be afraid
Or hide behind some palisade
Knowing the terrible price You paid
I cannot question Your love displayed.

Please, Dear Lord, my heart invade
Save me from this life’s tirade
This change for me must not be delayed
So with YOU, thru eternity, I may promenade.

Amen.
