Forgive Me Father

Forgive me Father for I havesinned, I know not what I do, Or maybe I do, But I go ahead and do it anyway, At the expense of going against your will, Regardless of what You feel, I'm sorry. Forgive me Father, For I have sinned. Too anxious to get where I want to be, I forget what You said, Forfeit your promises, And do things my way. I'm sorry. Forgive me Father, For I have sinned. Tried to replace you with what I can see, Fitting you into a figure that is suitable for me, Forgetting that you are the creator of everything, Can never be contained, Even if tried for eternity. I'm sorry. Forgive me Father, For I have sinned. I have become to anxious to wait on Your word, Limited Your capabilities, Decided to help You, 'God helps those who help themselves' as my theme. I went insearch for the one, Instead of waiting for You to bring him, And in the way I fell in the wrong hands, Now only You can accept me, I'm Sorry. Forgive me Father, For I do sin, Wanting so much to make it, And time and time again I disobey you, Sacrifice my soul to get what I want, I seem to be from the lineage of Saul. I keep forgetting that obedience, Is far much better than sacrifice, That the heart is what matters to your eyes. Not titles, nor status. So I humbly come bck to thee, Asking you to please, See past my iniquities, And take me in, Hide me under your wings, The only place that I am free. Forgive me Father, For I have sinned. I'm Sorry.
