Forgive Me Lord

Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned -- again, I have sinned again :( I'm uncomfortable in my own skin disgraced, defiled, by my own sin Do you know everywhere I've been? Did I hurt You, seeing all my sin? :( Is this world safe-- to run, within to You, when --I miss Your arms again I'm ashamed and repent; lost my grin wishing I'd never --ever-- sin again :( Is there one reason now, to begin :O -- again-- if I have sinned again?? With MercySong, sweeter than a violin You woo me back, past my chagrin :D Have mercy on us! Okay? You win! :) You forgive and forget, again, again But that's no excuse to sin-- again! :( Doing wrong to teachers, friends, or kin Your Truth sets free each sincere human Open to Your Grace to be freed from sin May 10, 2023 (NOW IS THE TIME 4 MERCY!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Based on one of Gordon Lightfoot's songs! :D The one with the same name as my title... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other references: ~Romans Ch. 6 ~Chaplet of Divine Mercy ~MercySong by Vinny Flynn & family ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gordon Lightfoot Inspiration Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
