Premium MemberFATHER TO ELDER SON: ONCE MORE AGAIN

FATHER TO ELDER SON: ONCE MORE AGAIN   

I am your father;
Let me not be a bother,
Nor your enemy:
Please come and visit with me;
My time here will soon not be:-

The compass of God,
Has never led one astray;
Satan’s does—each day:-
Be in God’s navigation;
And love’s resurrection:- 

Have mercy on me,
And forgive me for my sins 
Against God and thee:- 
Love you more than you can know; 
Forgive me before I go:-

Forgiveness of me
Is not about forgetting;
It’s about mercy:
For the pain you’ve given me, 
God knows, I’ve forgiven thee. 

I’ll die loving you,
I have lived life loving you:
God guiding me on:-
And as death takes me further,
Pray tell, greets from your brother:-


Premium MemberThe Prodigal

Today I leave for my home,
I have spent years on the roam,
months sleeping under the dome.

Hungry with little to eat,
at home servants eat choice meat;
but here I live on the street.

I squandered my father's wealth,
and have ruined my own health.
A bad hand, I have been dealth.

"Though my conduct deserves death,
forgive me as you did Seth,
before you breathe your last breath."

Premium MemberMama Forgive Your Son-

Mama I'm sorry
 for what I've done
 I am sorry for those 
sins I've caused from the womb 

I misbehave 
but  with Jesus 
through Him
 I am saved 

Mama I'm sorry for what I've done 
I'm sorry for all the wrongs 
Forgive me your sinful son
 I am a product Adam

 I hidden my shames and sins in the brush 
I was naked I have lost
This I confess
 but now I've turned around 
I'm put a cloth of righteousness  on
and through Jesus's grace
 I cannot face
 I'm sorry for what I've done
Unrighteous son
Mama forgive me for what I've done

Premium MemberWhat Do You Tell Such a Son

What do you tell a son 
   who leaves for a far-away place
To build a life with his new wife
   to carve out space to run his race
      What do you tell such a son

What do you tell a son 
   You love too much to hold back
Yet try to tell him that
   and your voice just cracks
      What do you tell such a son  

What do you tell a son
   who's made big plans
in whose happiness way 
   you never would stand
      What do you tell such a son...

What do you tell a son
   who comes crawling back home
on his hands and his knees
   who says, "I failed, Dad. 
      Forgive me, please."

Premium MemberWhat I Done

Won't you forget what I done
Please forgive me won't you son
Should never've touched that gun
Mom's love truly was my only one
Didn't mean the killin' I done
Never tell 'em I'm the one
Should never've touched that gun
Forgive me please won't you son

The circle surely is now broken
For all feelings long unspoken
I deeply hurt you when I ran
Please don't hate me 'cause you can
Your heart is open and always been
Some lettin' out and lettin' in
But before the next teardrop falls
Take them pictures off the walls
Remember me when long time gone
All you've got is this sad song

Premium MemberLove Gone By

Remembrances of my beloved son and
Old photos mounted on tears of time;
Misty images of happy days gone by,
Accuse me now of an unforgiving crime.
Nevermore to be relived,
Those moments of cherished bliss:
If I could just one mistake have back,
Could he forgive me my remiss?
