Idle Hands

Lord forgive my idle hands
That the devil takes under his command
To do nothing for your kingdom's sake
But rather your Son's heart break

Thank you for holding on tight
And not letting go without a fight
To pull me out of the pit I jumped in
When I betrayed you for my sin

When far from you I surely stumble
Thank you Lord for keeping me humble
And bringing me back to your embrace
As I bathe in your mercy and your grace

Thank you for again showing me
Why you bled and died upon that tree
I need clear cut reminders that you bought
Me, a member of a stubborn stiff-necked lot

And that for me to be free you gave your all
So the next time that I trip and fall
Please pick me up and help me to stand
And forgive this sinner his idle hands
