Judge and jury would agree with my own self-condemnation. I sin, then I sin again; if You kept a list of my sins, it would be as long as Your mighty arm. Yet still I have hope for myself, because You forgive all my sins. Your unending compassion is beyond my understanding, but I trust in Your love each and every day.
