My Confession

As I prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation before we move into Holy Week, I’m pondering the things and behaviors that are out of order in my life, leading me away from who God designed me to be. I’m getting ready for my confession. Its been helpful to listen to Josh Groban’s Confession as I meditate on where I’ve been unwilling to see God’s love, blessing and grace in my life and relying on my own strength:

I have been blind unwilling
To see the true love you’re giving
I have ignored every blessing
I’m on my knees confessing

That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is turning falling into place
I can’t hide it now, hear my confession

I have been wrong about you
I thought I was strong without you
For so long, nothing could move me
For so long, nothing could change me

Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am captured by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is turning falling into place
I can’t hide it now, hear my confession

You are the air that I breathe
You’re the ground beneath my feet
When did I stop believing

‘Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart (is turning) falling into place
I can’t hide it now, hear my confession
I can’t hide it now, hear my confession

Hear my confession
(And I feel my heart is turning falling into place)
