Dear Lord
Forgive me dear Lord,
For I have sinned in so many ways.
I have done a lot of wrong in my life,
That’s it so hard for me to explain.
At times I have lost faith in you,
So much I did not even care.
I did the things I wanted to do,
Because I thought life was so unfair.
I know I have disappointed you,
So I feel like you have abandoned me.
I feel like there’s no point in praying anymore,
Because you hate the person I turned out to be.
I ask you for your help dear Lord,
Because I feel lost in all my sorrows.
I hate the way I have been feeling lately,
That I really don’t want to see tomorrow.
I feel so angry each day of my life,
That I let out my steam on others.
No one really knows what I’m going through,
Not even my father or mother.
I toss and turn and cry each night,
Because of thoughts that go through my mind.
I regret the decisions and actions I’ve made,
And with disappointment I close my eyes and sigh.
So now I turn to you dear Lord,
And hope that you will forgive me.
Help me get through these hard times of mine,
And be the person I should be.
