Bondage to Sin

Bondage to sin each day,
Because we are so weak;
And that causes us to stray,
For the pleasures we seek.

If we say we have no sin,
Then we merely deceive;
And the truth is not within,
As we say that we believe.

For all sin and come short,
Of following in His honor;
That can hinder or thwart,
Heaven deterring us to enter.

But if we admit and confess,
Onto our God who is just;
Will forgive us and bless,
If in Him we put our trust.

For our God is a good God,
Who is willing to forgive;
When we honor and laud,
We will eternally live.
