I, Too, Have Denied Him
by Chris Bridges
I, too, have denied Him, when I have said that unkind and careless thought
I, too, have denied Him, though with blood, my soul He bought
I, too, have denied Him, when I worshipped my idea of what’s right
I, too, have denied Him, when instead of peace, I turned toward the fight
I, too, have denied Him, when I forsook my dear Savior, Redeemer, and Friend.
I, too, have denied Him, when with a loved one, that fence I did not mend.
I, too, have denied Him, when giving Him less than my all.
I, too, have denied Him, with sins that led to my fall.
I, too, have denied Him, when faced with great fear.
I, too, have denied Him, knowing despite this, my Savior was near.
I, too, have denied Him, and then turned toward His face
I, too, have denied Him, ashamed, hid in disgrace.
I, too, have denied Him, and have heard a cock crow.
Yet, My sins, though as scarlet,
Have been made white as snow.
