Too Many Sins For Me To Count
Too Many Sins For Me To Count
Long shadows on tall snowy mount
too many sins for me to count
Frozen lake with live fish beneath
what will my love ever bequeath
When moon frowns upon my dark-face
can I admit my sad disgrace
Dark shadows, linger in the night
being afraid is only right
From deep woods come loud, restless howls
I stand alone, gone are old pals
When dawn brings forth sweetest relief
I fall to pray, in true belief
Shadows sent to perform dark task
WHY ME, LOST HEART DARES TO ASK
Am I forgiven my sins
true maker of sincere amends
Carry me to a safer place
take this soul from this shadow place
