The Forgiveness of God

Father God please forgive me...

For the thoughts that come across 
For the ones that don't
The means to an end
When I know better yet do it again
For the times I'm lead astray
When under pressure I sometimes cave

For the things that I have done
When they have not been done in love
When I look elsewhere to fill my needs
To fill my needs selfishly 
For not spending enough time with you 
When I don't stand for your truth

When I forsake my first love
Saying I care but not enough
When I tend to believe the lies
For not forgiving those in kind 
When I'm my heart I feel hate
Before it is too late

Father God please forgive me...
