Because I Knew Not When My Life Was Good
Author: Sarah Williams Hymnal: The Hymnbook #274 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Refrain First Line: O, Lord, I do repent Lyrics: 1 Because I knew not when my life was good,
And when there was a light upon my path,
But turned my soul perversely to the dark,
O Lord, I do repent.
2 Because I held upon niy selfish road,
And left my brother wounded by the way,
And called ambition duty, and pressed on,
O Lord, I do repent.
3 Because I spent the strength Thou gavest me
In struggle which Thou never didst ordain,
And have imperfect life to offer Thee,
O Lord, I do repent.
4 Because I was impatient, would not wait,
And thrust my willful hand across Thy threads,
And marred the pattern drawn out for my life,
O Lord, I do repent.
