Our Sins and Misery Are All
Our sins and misery are all
That we can call our own.
For ev’ry other work or thing
Is ours by grace alone.
Our faults and failings we can claim;
From You they do not flow.
Our wretchedness is also ours;
For it You did not sow.
You are the Author in our lives
of all that’s good or grand.
All that is praiseworthy in us
Is penned by Your great hand.
Since You alone are truly good,
All good must come from You.
Since we are sinful to the core,
We sin in all we do.
Forgive and save us, Gracious Lord,
From all that we can claim,
And fill our lives in ev’ry way
With all that bears Your name.
