Baptismal Hymn

Just today I finished writing the hymn for my sweet little girl. I have written a few hymns (none of which are probably worth anything) and I have noticed that writing a doxology stanza seems to be the most difficult writing that I do. Maybe it is because the content of that stanza is so very specific, or maybe I am just not very good at writing. Either way, I find it a real challenge. I powered through it, and now the editing process begins...

Here is stanza 1 as it is right now:

Sin infects me. Since my first days,

Even since my conception,

Sin has driven my thoughts and ways,

And I am fully corrupted.

My view of life is always curved

Inward, and I only think

About myself -what I’ve deserved-

Without a care for anyone.

So much has sin corrupted me

That my eyes are now blind

To the awful reality

That what I deserve is death.

"Dad is Great..."

Preparation for fatherhood...
