Fighting Temptation

This guilt I feel consumes me I want to let it out But I'm terrorfied of the consequences... I gave into temptation And now I pay the price... I'm so sorry for what I've done I pray that this isn't the end I pray that you can forgive me And we can still have our happily ever after... One single thought runs through my head Over and over again... I know what I need to do To finally get peace of mind But once again I'm consumed with fear... Fear of what you'll think Fear of what you'll do - what this will mean I messed up! That's all there is to it! And all I can say is I'm so deeply, deeply sorry! God was testing me And I failed horribly! Now I'm living in regret I'm completely stuck! Show me where to go from here Tell me what I'm suppose to do now... How do I make this right? I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so deeply sorry! For this incredibly stupid thing I've done Now I'm at your mercy... I can only hope and pray That you can forgive me Please stay here with me, Please dont run away

What a sad song! A testimony to being human...Forgive yourself first so you will be strong if he doesn't. There will be another sunrise either way. Be strong! Cynthia
