David Bowden - I Have A Confession To Make lyrics

I have a confession to make. Grace is more racy than h*mos**uality, more Full of life than teenage pregnancy more captivating than p**nography. Grace is far more potent than anything that could make us guilty. But we Treat grace like a child when we hide our sin and question its ability. I have a confession to make, the measure of a Christian is not how well Their sin is hidden, or how many church services they have attended or how Low the number of transgressions they've committed is. The measure of a Christian, is hidden in Christ of whom they have been given. I have a Confession to make, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and that goes for the gossip as well as the alcoholic, the Greedy as well as those in adultery, yhe apathetic as well as the addict, The judgmental as well as the h*mos**ual. We’re all looking for something We can throw at anyone whose sin looks worse than our own, but we are all Sinners; we’ve all been exposed, so none of us are left with even a Single stone. I have a confession to make; anyone who calls themselves a Christian makes The ultimate confession, for Christ did not come for the healthy but for Those who needed medication. The prostitutes, murderers, and those in Rehabilitation, so if you claim to be a Christian, you claim to be in need Of powerful salvation. I have a confession to make; we are all trapped in shame, till we give sin A name. For we all play this game where we try to look the same by Modifying and hiding our behavior so no one can see our sin and make us a Stranger. But what we don’t realize is that we are in danger, for if we Live like we have no sin, then we live like we need no savior. I have a confession to make, my eyes, lips, and mind are stained in Unclean from images, drinks, and words that would have condemned me, but I Am not saved because I am perfect, or have my sin under control. I am saved Because I need saving and that is the Gospel. I have a confession to make, you no longer have to hide, for God has seen Everything that you are and still came for you and died. It doesn't matter If everyone rejects you; you are still His spotless bride. So come join me In confession, where we still every brother’s suspicion, every sister’s Suggestion. Because we have stepped fully in the light without any Hesitation, no longer can we hide nor do we feel the inclination. For Freedom is far better than staying in incarceration, so come, make your Confession and rob sin of its power. For what strength does it have if It’s shame’s been devoured. Come, make your confession and make room For the healing. Both for yourself and for others with whom your very sin They have been dealing. Come make a confession and rid the church of its Judges. For if everyone is confessing, there is no room to make judgements. I have a confession to make, God is not condemning, and we should not be Trying to play His role. Let us start to pick up our cross instead of our Stones. Hurl rocks of Gospel at each other instead of blows. Open our Mouths to confess and forgive, instead of keeping them closed and overlook The spec in another’s eye, so we can attend to the plank in our own. I Have a confession to make, and church, it’s time you made yours too. For Christ did not die so that we may hide, but to love us in spite of the Wrong we do, so come speak your sins on the altar of confession. It doesn't Matter if the world says you’re condemned, because all God speaks, is Salvation.
