Forgive Me Father

Forgive 
me 
Father 
for 
I 
havesinned,
I 
know 
not 
what 
I 
do,
Or 
maybe 
I 
do,
But 
I 
go 
ahead 
and 
do 
it 
anyway,
At 
the 
expense 
of 
going 
against 
your 
will,
Regardless 
of 
what 
You 
feel,
I'm 
sorry.

Forgive 
me 
Father,
For 
I 
have 
sinned.
Too 
anxious 
to 
get 
where 
I 
want 
to 
be,
I 
forget 
what 
You 
said,
Forfeit 
your 
promises,
And 
do 
things 
my 
way.
I'm 
sorry.

Forgive 
me 
Father,
For 
I 
have 
sinned.
Tried 
to 
replace 
you 
with 
what 
I
can 
see,
Fitting 
you 
into 
a 
figure 
that 
is
suitable 
for 
me,
Forgetting 
that 
you 
are 
the
creator 
of 
everything,
Can 
never 
be 
contained,
Even 
if 
tried 
for 
eternity.
I'm 
sorry.

Forgive 
me 
Father,
For 
I 
have 
sinned.
I 
have 
become 
to 
anxious 
to 
wait
on 
Your 
word,
Limited 
Your 
capabilities,
Decided 
to 
help 
You,
'God 
helps 
those 
who 
help
themselves' 
as 
my 
theme.
I 
went 
insearch 
for 
the 
one,
Instead 
of 
waiting 
for 
You 
to
bring 
him,
And 
in 
the 
way 
I 
fell 
in 
the 
wrong
hands,
Now 
only 
You 
can 
accept 
me,
I'm 
Sorry.

Forgive 
me 
Father,
For 
I 
do 
sin,
Wanting 
so 
much 
to 
make 
it,
And 
time 
and 
time 
again 
I 
disobey
you,
Sacrifice 
my 
soul 
to 
get 
what 
I
want,
I 
seem 
to 
be 
from 
the 
lineage 
of
Saul.
I 
keep 
forgetting 
that 
obedience,
Is 
far 
much 
better 
than 
sacrifice,
That 
the 
heart 
is 
what 
matters 
to
your 
eyes.
Not 
titles, 
nor 
status.
So 
I 
humbly 
come 
bck 
to 
thee,
Asking 
you 
to 
please,
See 
past 
my 
iniquities,
And 
take 
me 
in,
Hide 
me 
under 
your 
wings,
The 
only 
place 
that 
I 
am 
free.
Forgive 
me 
Father,
For 
I 
have 
sinned.
I'm 
Sorry.
