The Repenting Sinner
for so many years I've walked about
carrying my load of sin.
getting high...a constant battle
i just cant seem to win.
Every night i pray o'lord
forgive me....make me strong
but when i wake i think no more
once again my choice is wrong.
why..why cant i stop i ask myself
make it all just go away
i want to be so much more
than what i am today.
the greatest love i once had found
his battle was just the same
that's when i gave in, and did it to
a mental institution he now remains
such a stab to my heart..great loss for my soul
i should had learned from him
but still i cant say no.
Every night i pray just the same
forgive me lord, for i have sinned
yet another time. i promise no more
just help me get through.
i do not want to be left behind
please...please take me to
the battle....lord help me be a winner
so i will no longer be
a continuous repenting sinner
