Behold You with Pleasure
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive, together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses by canceling the record of death that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them in him. Colossians 2:13-15.
Ryan Bush:Oh Lord, have mercy upon me, a sinner. Though my iniquities have justly caused you to hide your face from me, yet be pleased to hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities for the sake of that precious blood that was spilled from me. Remember, O Lord God, that dreadful day in which Jesus, Your dear Son, endured what my sins have deserved. Remember that agony in which he poured out his soul before you and said, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Did he not, oh, Lord, endure all this that humble penitence might through him be brought near unto you and might behold you with pleasure as their Father and their God? Thus, do I desire to come to you, dear heavenly Father. Amen.
