Undeserved Forgiveness

If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9

 
Undeserved forgiveness
God, how can it be?
For you fully witness
Our depravity

Yet You do not waver
Lord, if we confess
You cleanse us, dear Saviour
From unrighteousness

Lord of loving kindness
You grant in wrath’s place
Undeserved forgiveness
Unmerited grace

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, 
and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,  
not by works, so that no one can boast.
Eph.2:8-9
