My Greatest Sin

It took away your youth
And everything I believed in
My greatest sin
For I have failed
The truth has been nailed
The mark of the failure

Living is getting hard
My soul is getting scared
Save me
All I ask for is...
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness

It took away your youth
And everything I believed in
My greatest sin
For I have failed
The truth has been nailed
The mark of the failure

Erase this from my soul
Everything I have stole
Every last one
All I ask for is...
Redemption
Redemption
Redemption

I must delay
My souls decay
I must obey
Without delay

For I have failed
The truth has been nailed
The mark of the failure

My greatest sin

a great poem, like lyrics, we all fall short of his Glory, God loves us all and he loves us just as we are, The Lord said '' Do not be afraid for I have reedemed you, I called you by your name and you are mine, '' Exodus 15 :13  “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home. God bless you
