Explore (repent & believe)

Easy


It’s easy
To do wrong things,
To say wrong things,
To think wrong things,
And to want wrong things,

It’s harder
To do the right things,
To say the right things,
To think the rights things,
And to want the right things.

I’m sorry for
When I’ve done the wrong thing,
Said the wrong,
Thought the wrong thing
Or taken the wrong thing.

Help me to
Do the right things,
Say the right things,
Think the right things
And want the right things.

Thank you, God.
Amen.

When


When I’ve been wrong,
It’s hard to say sorry.

Mum says to say it,
Dad says to say it,
Teachers say to say it.
But I don’t want to say sorry.

When someone’s been wrong towards me,
I want them to say sorry.
But just like me, they seem to find it hard
And often don’t say it –
And it makes me feel sad.

When I’ve been wrong,
And I don’t say sorry to you.
I’m sorry.

Thank you that you gave yourself for me.
Thank you that you forgive me.

Looking


The world is such a big place.
Big,
Wide,
High,
Full.

There are so many people.
Big,
Small,
Short,
Tall.

I can feel so small.
Lonely,
Confused,
And uncertain.

Feeling that something’s missing –
But not sure what it might be.

I find myself looking
For things to make sense,
Add up,
Feel good.

I find myself looking –
For you.

May I find you when I look.

I believe


I believe in you, God.
I believe that you are God.

I believe in you God.
I believe that you created the world.

I believe in Jesus.
I believe that he is God’s son.

I believe in Jesus.
I believe he died for me.

I believe in Jesus.
I believe he lives today.

I believe in God’s spirit.
I believe that he walks with me today.


I believe.
