Though We Forget You, Jesus--Mar. 3, 2015

Lord Jesus, we do not want you to remember

the sins of our youth or our transgressions:

how we have exchanged the truth for a lie

and worshiped and served the creature

rather than the Creator, who

is blessed forever.

No, we want you

to remember us and the

good we have done, though days

without number we have forgotten you

and the signs of your love.  Lord have mercy.
