Unforgiven

NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT
 THE MISTAKES THAT I MADE

NOW I'M LOCKED AWAY 
AND IT'S FOR THE FOOLISH GAME I PLAYED

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING THERE 
IN THE WAY I KNOW I SHOULD

EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I MESSED UP
 I PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD

I KNOW MY MISTAKES ARE UNFORGIVEN 
AND ONLY I AM TO BLAME

I KNOW THERE'S NO NEED FOR SORRY 
BECAUSE SORRY WON'T ERASE THE PAIN

UNFORGIVEN TO MYSELF
AND UNFORGIVEN WITHIN MY HEART

UNFORGIVEN IN MY WAYS
BECAUSE I FAILED TO DO MY PART

A PART OF MY PRIDE HAS DIED
EVEN THOUGH I'LL KEEP ON LIVING

WHETHER YOU FORGIVE ME OR NOT
TO MYSELF I'M UNFORGIVEN

The Lord Is In Your Corner

Sometimes things get rough and it seems as if nothing will ever go your way

You must take time out to lose all doubt, you must get down and Pray

The Lord is in your Corner and yes He is always by your side

If ever you feel stranded in life He is there to give you a ride

The Lord is in your Corner to give you the things that you need

Whenever you need spiritual growth The Lord is your Corner to plant the seed

If ever you feel left out He is there to let you know where you belong

And within your moments of weakness The Lord is in your Corner to help you 
stand strong

The Lord is in your Corner to provide you with the greatest love your heart will 
ever know

Even when you start to lose your grip The Lord is in your Corner and He'll never 
let you go

Upon the train of salvation never get off track and always stay aboard

The greatest place to be is within the Corner of the Lord
