I'M Sorry

I’m sorry I didn’t cry when you lost your dad I’m sorry that I always made you mad I’m sorry that I couldn’t hold you tight And tell you that I love you with all my might I’m sorry that I always called you names Sorry I was mean and caused you pain Saying bad things that I regret I hope that one day you will forgive. I’m sorry that I didn’t see your hurt I’m sorry I was once a stupid girl I’m sorry that I didn’t love and respect Turning our marriage into a wreck Please forgive me for being wrong And all those nights I cried all night long I knew that you really cared for me I was just blind and I couldn’t see. I’m sorry that your life has been so hard Tryin’ your best but not gettin’ very far Life’s punching you from left and right You just want to quit and give up the fight And I know that you’re still hurting inside You married again so you wouldn’t have to cry With your heart still broken from before You try to hide that you’re still unsure. I’m sorry that your brother took the easy way out I’m sorry you couldn’t help him when he was in doubt I’m sorry that your life has been so cruel Nothing but an ugly joke to you And so from time to time I continue to pray I hope that you’ll call on HIM someday So you’ll be filled with His grace and love And be protected from the Lord God above. And now that your left here all alone Empty inside tryin’ to fill the hole Goin’ down the wrong path and through the wrong door Your soul’s left empty and you’re wanting more Thinking to yourself will things ever change Wondering why God had made you this way Cause you’re not livin’ your just here Goin’ through the motions of life in fear. And so you try to keep movin’ on Survivin’ and tryin’ to keep yourself strong But you rely on others to hold you up And you keep on passin your sufferin’ cup “Why does it have to be this way Why can’t I have peace and live happily” Let me tell you this to your lost soul Surrender to God and then you will know.
