Before sin, I was oblivious of God's grace
After sin, I craved it and found grace precious

Before sin, I was doing well (in my own ways)
After sin, I was at the bottom of a dry well

Before sin, my struggles seemed superficial
After sin, my life was on the line

Jesus, I have never been in the state of not sinning, but I pretend that I am good to go when in reality I need you and your mercy every second of every day. And when I purposefully sin against you, doing what I know is wrong, I am risking my life. I know and acknowledge it afterwards, but not before. Give me the proper perspective:

Before sin, you are ever present and available
During sin, I turn my back on you.

Before sin, your grace is sufficient
During sin, your grace is disregarded and trampled under foot

Before sin, there is always a way out
During sin, my flesh wins out
