Forgive Me

These are the psalms of a sinner. The chronicles of me Engraved on sacred scrolls and set out to sea. You said that nothing in heaven or earth would ever tear us apart. I pray that you forgive me for my unclean heart. Father please forgive me for all of my sins For the depth of my inequities stirring within. Father please forgive me for my impure thoughts For all the wrong I’ve learned, for all the wrong that I’ve taught So many times I’ve stepped out of your light, and I dwelled in the dark I’ve held contempt in my soul, and hate in my heart Father please forgive me, for I have transgressed I thought I’d conquer the trials, and I failed every test Father please forgive me, for not taking your hand Time and time, you gave me chance after chance Father please forgives me for not choosing your path. Instead of roaming green pastures, I walked on withered grass. Father please forgive me for all I have done For I have spoken death, and I have slayed with my tongue Father please forgive me, for I went astray I turned my back on your words, and I walked away. Father please forgive me, I pray that you hear my pleas Forgive the trespasses of a sinner like me.
