Author: Sarah Williams Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #523 Meter: 10.10.10.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal 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 my 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. Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE
Because I Knew Not When My Life Was Good
