NOT FIT FOR HEAVEN <\/p>\n

I know that I am not fit for Heaven,
\nMy sins are by no means just a few,
\nI’ve made one mistake after another,
\nIndeed, Lord, my whole life through.<\/p>\n

Selfishness was sometimes my motive,
\nAt other times I yielded to plain lust,
\nMy wrongs are a testimony against me,
\nJesus, in You alone I know I must trust.<\/p>\n

Even though I am so clearly unworthy,
\nYet You lovingly gave Your life for me,
\nThere is no way I can ever repay You,
\nOther than to praise You for eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
