Saint Paul

I’ve hurt some people in my life That didn’t deserve the pain I often didn’t truly realize The suffering they’d obtain I’ve done some things that I regret Sins that were terrible to name But I know that God gives grace In spite of all that seems insane I’ve admitted that I don’t know how To mend the fences I’ve beaten down Or how to carve out of the past A friend who doesn’t still frown It wasn’t that I was such a bad person I gave all I had to my beloved one But I just didn’t think about affecting others With sins that would weigh a ton It wasn’t that I ever intended to hurt another I honestly didn’t want to do any harm But I was selfish and only thought of my own For some people that seemed to charm I made a lot of mistakes in my lifetime And I regret the worst ones I’ve known They don’t let me forget my past some days But always remind me that I’ve grown Today I reach out for the grace of God With assurance that He forgives it all From the worst sins to times I contend He reminds me that I’m a little like St. Paul
