The Mistakes of My Life

The mis­takes of my life have been ma­ny

The sins of my heart have been more

And I scarce can see for weep­ing

But I’ll knock at the op­en door.

I know I am weak and sin­ful

It comes to me more and more;

But when the dear Sav­ior shall bid me come in

I’ll en­ter the op­en door.

I am low­est of those who love Him

I am weak­est of those who pray;

But I come as He has bid­den

And He will not say me nay.

My mis­takes His free grace will cover

My sins He will wash away

And the feet that can shrink and fal­ter

Shall walk thro’ the gates of day.

The mis­takes of my life have been ma­ny

And my spir­it is sick with sin

And I scarce can see for weep­ing

But the Sav­ior will let me in.
