The beggar

I am a beggar upon this land
My spirit is not well
Sinful is what I do

I can't approach the Lord
If I use my merit
I deserve his punishment

The system in the world is prideful
The world will never be humble
So they will refuse Jesus

I was in the camp of earthly ideas
I had no hope
I tried to be good and failed.

Got on my knees and asked
I asked for forgiveness
My poor spirit needed change

Christ came to me
Because I couldn't save myself
Only God's grace can deliver

My good deeds are dirty
I have sinned once
Therefore all my life is rotten

I saw that the cross of Jesus
I needed to be cleansed
Jesus humbly accepted me
