As Children Forgiven - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Not as adults, fully aware
our true state far below him
merely human compared with
our sovereign God

Forgiven as children
in the eyes of our Lord
called back to him
our father, our God

Humbly coming
back to his arms open
calling to us
from within our hearts

Confessing our sins
as we are able
turning to him
to forgive us completely

Washed away,
our stain gone
returned to the family
a child of the living God
