Didn’t carry out the job you told me to perform.
Put it off, did other things that caused great harm.
Had a clear duty to complete certain tasks.
Went my own way, like a stage actor miscast.
Nodded when I should have shaken my head for wrong assignments.
Functioned like a joint out of place that needed realignment.
Was a drum major out front for others’ agendas, not mine.
Placed my schedule in the back, and on my tasks, got behind.
The days are gone, and I taste bitter lament
Wasted time on things for me, not meant.
I sigh with sorrow for what I have done.
Grieved the Holy Spirit, you and your dear Son.
Yesterday has expired, and it’s a new day.
You told me again and showed the way.
Don’t come off the wall until it’s done, you said.
I know if I don’t, there will be tears to shed.
Thank you for confession and repentance
Brought about your freeing forgiveness.
Today, it feels like a fast forward from yesterday; it went so fast.
In the end, I look forward to hearing you say, well done at last.
Think about it.
