Forgive Me

Forgive me Lord for all my past sins that I’ve committed
Help me to feel that through Your love I have been forgiven
I got to move on in my life
Not to continue to wallow in worries, pain or strife
I still struggle with the fact of who I was
Living my life in the streets with hoodlums, thugs, doing drugs
I lost everything in the world that I had
Including my self esteem had me feelings so sad
Lord, I want to love me enough to forgive myself
No longer being that person who’s always so messed up
You said in your word if I continue to trust and believe
To keep on praying soon I’ll feel relieved
So no matter what satan tries and continues to do
I’m going to forgive myself God through loving you.

Jeremiah 31:34b
……for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.
