Forgive Me
If I heard you calling would I answer?
If you spoke my name, what would I do?
If you should smile at me what would my response be?
I really like to think I’d follow you…
If you reached out your hand, would I take it?
And at your invitation would I stay?
On that long, narrow road as I tote my heavy load
I hate to think that I would turn away…
Forgive me for not loving you enough.
When the going got too tough I stayed with the status quo.
Forgive me for not giving all I could.
I rarely do as I should, I just move as the wind will blow…
If I heard the truth, would I accept it?
Or would I turn and cling to the lie?
If you changed my mind, could I leave my world behind?
I like to think I’d tell it all goodbye.
Forgive me for not loving you enough.
When the going got too tough I stayed with the status quo.
Forgive me for not giving all I could.
I rarely do as I should, I just move as the wind will blow…
If I heard you calling would I answer?
Could I pay back everything I owe?
On that narrow road where your grace and mercy flowed
I really hate to say that I don’t know…
Forgive me for not loving you enough.
When the going got too tough I stayed with the status quo.
Forgive me for not giving all I could.
I rarely do as I should, I just move as the wind will blow…
