September 30th, 1998 A.D.

Today is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement
I repent and ask God to forgive my sins
I forgive all others around me
               all others who have "wronged" me
Because if I don't, then nobody wins

Dear Lord Jesus another year has passed on by
I don't know if I should laugh or if I should cry
Because in the midst of victorious revival
There's heart-wrenching & painful adversity

But Lord I know You are here at least
You are my Hope, my Love, my Peace
Yes that wonderful peace and wonderful assurance
That You will never leave us
         You are always for us

Thank You Jesus for everything
To You Lord Jesus I always sing

        In the end when I realize Who it is I serve to today
        I will want to serve my Jesus and love to pray
