Mistakes Forgiven

what did I do
what came over me
what was I thinking
what will I do

i'll get caught
i'll lose my job
i'll lose my money
i'll lose everything

was it worth it
was it necessary
was it sin
was it my fault

why did i let them down
why did i let myself down
why did i let her down
why did i let God down

i need Your forgiveness
i need Your embrace
i need Your mercy 
i need Your strength

it's there for my taking
it's there for my mistakes
i wrote this so I would remember
God's never ending grace
