Can I Be Saved?

Before my birth you knew my name For you are the holder of my fate Your compassion has extinguished my transgressions My day of defeat was the day i was born Because before I knew you my soul had been torn By unrighteous things that were evil in your eyes Cleanse my skin from the sin because i firmly believe That i was unclean the day that i was conceived Wash away my impurities and purify my soul And i will be whiter than snow Cover your eyes from the sins that reap in my bones And create a heart that destines to be like your own Do not let me out of your sight For i have done wrong, and failed to do right Save me from these spiderwebs That have entrapped my lost soul Grant me a willing spirit to teach those who have transgressed And let my tongue sing righteousness

your soul is washed is beautiful light, to speak these words is truly right, but by what troubles have you come to see these things, finnally see through right and wrong, and ask to be cleansed again, to be given a new name, and teach the rightness that you know, that inside your shown, i follow the path thats true to my heart, but do you follow your own path? or are you pushed such far.
