God Forgives
Have you ever felt hopeless?
Thinking there's no one to care.
Is there someone in your past?
At whose memory you stare.
Don't take the hide off yourself
Or think perhaps your not decent.
For mistakes you have made
Even if they've been most recent.
For we spend our entire lives
Wrestling with thorns in our flesh.
For the good seed and bad
Are two that never will mesh.
And you can love other people
Though one day they've hurt you.
Like we hurt God each day
In things we've said or failed to do.
We all face temptations daily
Of one stripe or another.
God was tempted but sinned not
Nor tempts he any other.
Though we try hard as we may
To live a committed life above sin;
While in this earthly body
We're inclined to mess up again.
Written for a special friend, Shirlene
