If on my heart I have some places stained
by dark desires or by thoughts impure,
forgive me, Lord, when this your heart had pained,
please, tell me of your grace and reassure.
Have mercy when I cannot sacrifice
all flesh to you, as You have done for me
and nailed to the cross my every vice,
You have declared me forever free.
I’m judging others, lacking tact and goodness,
or by my whims I’m going astray,
and asking You, forgiving me such blindness,
don’t judge me too severely, I pray.
I’m trying hard, although sometimes fail
and, like a child, learning right from wrong,
I’m struggling, when tempting thoughts assail,
experiencing troubles lifelong.
Oh help me to express in my devotion
to You all my repentance, dear Lord.
Dissolve my anger, any bad emotion
by shining Light of Your unfailing Word.
Help me to grow in You and to mature,
Your power all Satan's scheming breaks.
Your blood can cover all my thoughts impure,
and it can cleanse my blunders and mistakes.
Wash me and help my confidence regain,
whatever accusations Satan threw.
Let me, Lord Jesus, in Your grace remain
forever being faithful to You!

Romans 7:14-25
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
