My Destination

There are things I've done in my life
I don't believe can be washed away
No matter how much I repent
I will burn come my Judgment Day

I'm at the point of giving up on God
I feel he has given up on me
I used to pray to him every day
All unanswered as far as I can see 

I know all that is in the Bible
And what each book has to say
Psalms 23 says Lord is my shepherd
Well I'm the lamb that went astray 

I never felt at home in his flock
I guess my wool was too black 
I left the path of righteousness 
With no plans of ever going back

Maybe you can pray for me
My prayers got nothing in return
St Peter at those Pearly Gates
Can send me to Hell to burn
