How unworthy are we to come to Your footstool

How unworthy are we to come to Your footstool

How unworthy are we to come to Your footstool.

There is enough of coldness in our prayers, of insincerity in our repentance, of imperfection in our best attempts to serve You—that were we tried by these, we must have perished forever!

Our prayers themselves require forgiveness.

In You alone are our persons and our services rendered acceptable.

We flee to the foot of Your cross.

Here we are safe, though everywhere else we be in danger.

Let us exercise a simple confidence and trust in Your completed work.

We bring every sin to Your atoning blood.

May we have You in all, and for all the duties and difficulties and trials of life.
