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.
