Psalm 1 - He Opened My Eyes Poem by Boston Kelley

Lord, look at the distance
I've walked from You.
See how far I've strayed!
I was blind to my sin,
but You opened my eyes.
You removed my self-deceit
And gave me clarity of mind.
The raging storms and gale winds
That once thundered in my mind
Are now silenced.
You revealed who I had become,
You allowed me to persist in my sin,
So I could come to this realization.
Thank You for doing such a thing!
How great is the way You work
Even when we can't see You working!
I am now cleansed because I confessed my sin,
I now know what needs to be done.
Because of Your guidance, I am renewed.
Thanks to this epiphany, realization
has dawned on me.
My sin is gone and I am washed white,
Thank the Lord for purifying me.
Thank You for Your guidance!
It has led me to great understanding!
Lord, guide me all the days of my life,
So I may walk in closeness with You.
