Me Again, Lord
It’s me again oh Lord.
How many times have I been here?
Right in this very spot?
Begging and pleading for forgiveness
Which You’ve always granted without a thought.
I’ve lied and I’ve cheated,
I’ve used and I’ve cried.
Nothing seems to help the pain that I am feeling inside.
I know I did it to myself
It happens every time!
Though there you are with outstretched arms.
For me you were crucified.
I don’t know where to begin, oh Lord
I don’t know how it started
It was innocent enough, I thought
But now I’m left broken hearted.
Shame and disgrace follow where err I go
Leaving a path of destruction…
seems it’s all I really know
and each and every time I come crying back to you.
You tell me that you’ve been waiting
You knew soon I’d come back soon.
How can you forgive me?
Again I’ve disappointed you.
I’ve wandered so far this time oh Lord
Knowing all the while
That you were watching over me
As I lived out Satan’s lies.
It breaks my heart to know
that all of this is true
that I used your gift and turned my back;
I ran away from you.
Yet each time you take me back
You meet me where I am
Now I am just as pure as snow
Back home where I began
Thank you Lord for loving me
in spite of who I am
Thank you Lord for taking back
Your lost and wounded lamb.
