I'M At Peace With You and God--

I am so very sorry I've lied, stolen and cheated, been mistreating; I've lived as I die daily; I wondered as I asked myself why; Then I saw the light; I am so sorry; I refect... Then everything was right; Been tattered and torn; Now I've been reborn; Ask my friends, strangers and enemies... To forgive me; Please forgive me; I'm at peace with you and God; As I stand here before you, please forgive me; I'm at peace now with you and God; NOW ~ Lived a glorious life; Have three children, two grand-had a wife; But God saw fit between my sins; To bring her back home to heaven... ~ Now here I lay in this bed of woo; lying here this day my story been told; My heart beats no longer so; My spirit has gone back to the Lord; I've lied, stolen and cheated, been mistreated; I've lived as I die; I wandered as I asked myself why; Then I saw the light; Then everything was alright; Been tattered and torn; Now I've been reborn; Ask my friends, strangers and enemies... To forgive me; Please forgive me; I'm at peace with you and God; As I stand here before you, please forgive me; I'm at peace now with you and God; NOW 7/17/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019© Written for project North Omaha Writer’s Group assignment 2019©
