Awesome Gift
Dear Lord I have a prayer for you
I am in desperate need right now
I am not a nice person after all
And I wonder if you could help somehow
I have a bitterness growing in me
And I am afraid it will turn to hate
I don’t want to feel this way
I need help before it’s too late
Let me tell you my sad story
I know you listen with open mind
He lied cheated and stole from me
And he has left me in quite a bind
I feel I have been betrayed
And the lies that crossed his lips
Joins up with pain of losing love
And has torn my heart to bits
So now dear Lord you know
why I have this desperate need
I don’t want to spoil my soul
And of this I must take heed
I thank you Lord for helping me
And I know this is in advance
But you are always there for me
And that is not at all by chance
I am beginning to feel a little better now
Because you gave me the power to forgive
That is an awesome gift dear Lord
By forgiving I can now really live
Connie Moore
