A Prayer To Christ Jesus: May Salvation Reign Down

Dear Lord, I am but a broken vessel. In pieces, I cry out your holy name. My sin latches on with grappling hooks, and drags me backward with each step I take. Oh please, dear Lord, forgive me. Hear my plea. Hold me close whilst the storm rages within. I have squandered all your bountiful grace. I pray whole heartedly for your mercy. Oh please, dear Lord, baptise thee and save me. Your prodigal daughter has returned home. Father, this war has plagued me for so long. Oh saviour, free me now from Satan's grasp. May my heart ever yearn for you, dear King. Restore this broken vessel, make me whole. Amen 04.03.2021
