Your Sins and Mine...

Forgive me Lord I am in a land of the impure A place where I am still unsure And some days I fall shorter than I would like Others I turn sharply on the pike You are the only one who walked a perfect line Who is holy always and loving never spilling the wine Forgive me for doing things that displease you That make me seem ungrateful for all you do Sometimes I may forget or don’t think In sin is only filth and death that will stink And though some may carry a heavier cross My disobedience makes me suffer a greater loss Which is to miss being next to you on your throne Losing your love, your presence, and everything I own Have no pity Lord but mercy on me For being blinded and not able to see Though I am not lost as you saved thee I wait for the day I am cleansed so thoroughly And I say forgive me I want to see you smile To see you glad to hold your hands in amazement for awhile To hear you say well done my faithful one And spend eternity with you in the sun The rain and beautiful storms before the day is done Only to awake to see your wonderful face To laugh and dance in such an glorious place Forgive me and let us try again And with you by my side I know I can win
