When Shame Whispers, Grace Roars
Psalm 32:5 — “I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.’ And you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Romans 8:1 — “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Isaiah 1:18 — “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
Hebrews 8:12 — “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
2 Corinthians 7:10 — “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret.”
Zephaniah 3:17 — “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Guilt replays the fall; grace renews your standing. You don’t have to prove you’re sorry enough—Jesus proved you’re loved enough. Confession isn’t a performance; it’s coming home to a Father who’s already running. Your sin had its say—but grace had the final word.
lyrics by Zeb of Virginia Beach –
from his song “Lord, Hear My Heart”
I bare my cross confess my shame
please purge my heart of all my pain
You are the God who can render my slate clean
and day by day I am redeemed
Lord hear my heart and the words I say
Lord teach me how to live and pray
to be in your favor show me the way
To honor you and here I’ll stay
from his song “Gonna Stand Tall”
From this day forward
My solemn pledge
I will get off the fence
Come in from the ledge
I choose your wisdom Lord
I choose your grace
I will not move
from this Holy place.
Gonna stand tall
In the Lord’s light that’s all
Gonna stand tall
So I won’t tumble, stumble or fall
