I Stand Here

It’s judgment day and I stand here,  at the alter of the Son. My sins are many, and I can’t help,  but think of every one. How can I explain it?   For I have no excuse. Each sin is mine alone to bear,  I suffered no abuse. It seems like hours I’ve waited,   (Though, only moments pass) But time here has no meaning and I stand by him at last. His voice so soft cuts through me.   He asks what I’ve to say. I cannot ask forgiveness, so I just turn away. I feel a hand upon me,  as tears course down my face. Is it them (or only him)  that washed my pain away. I know I don’t deserve it,  Heaven, in spite of sin. But I stand here just the same;  by the Son, invited in.
