Forgive Me

I can be a wretched man
I can be a cheater
I can be a lazy man
I can want to die
I can fail to smile
I can refuse humility

I want to be better
I want to be loyal
I want to deserve it
I want to live
I want to not fear smiling
I want to be enough for myself

Can you give me one more chance
I know I’ve blown it before
Can you help me become something better
I know I can be so much better
I hope God doesn’t give up on me

I grew up wanting love and loved everything
How did I become this broken?
How did I choose the path I’m on?
Why can’t I return back to the better path?
I thank God every day for a second chance

Forgive me, I want a second chance. 
I want to show the world a better me.
I want to make the world a place worth living.

Take comfort. He forgave David of great sin because David ' turned' around. He is compassionate, merciful, slow in anger and abundant in loyal Love. J
