Like scarlet

Search me, oh God and know my heart test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
I know that there is wickedness in me Lord. I know that I am a sinful person. I claim to know you yet continue in my sinful ways behind the veil of my mind. In the dark my sin is my companion; in the eternal void of night my sin is my only friend. But in the morning it shrinks back from the light and recedes into the shadows until night falls again. Shine into the shady places. Shine into them and expose the impurity. Burn them in your fire so that am pure as the most precious of gems.
