Your Sins and Mine...
Forgive me Lord I am in a land of the impure
A place where I am still unsure
And some days I fall shorter than I would like
Others I turn sharply on the pike
You are the only one who walked a perfect line
Who is holy always and loving never spilling the wine
Forgive me for doing things that displease you
That make me seem ungrateful for all you do
Sometimes I may forget or don’t think
In sin is only filth and death that will stink
And though some may carry a heavier cross
My disobedience makes me suffer a greater loss
Which is to miss being next to you on your throne
Losing your love, your presence, and everything I own
Have no pity Lord but mercy on me
For being blinded and not able to see
Though I am not lost as you saved thee
I wait for the day I am cleansed so thoroughly
And I say forgive me I want to see you smile
To see you glad to hold your hands in amazement for awhile
To hear you say well done my faithful one
And spend eternity with you in the sun
The rain and beautiful storms before the day is done
Only to awake to see your wonderful face
To laugh and dance in such an glorious place
Forgive me and let us try again
And with you by my side I know I can win
