Father please forgive me
For what I have done.
I have seen the light,
Yet turned and began to run
I lost the path
That is so narrow
And found the wide
And easy to follow.
I embraced the lies
And turned from truth.
I worshiped the god of this earth
Instead of you.
I've ventured so far
And have lost my way.
I need your help Lord
I desperately pray.
Shine your light
So I can see.
And Shine very brightly,
And set me free
Of these bushes and branches of sin
That hinder my way
again and again.
Father I don't know
How you ever could,
But I plead, I cry,
Forgive me if you would.
I never wanted to become
The man you see
Standing all alone
Who can't break free.
Heal me.
Cleanse me.
Make me new.
Make me spotless
Just like you.
I believe in your son
And all that He did.
I confess of my sin
And turn away from it.
I accept the free gift
you have bestowed
Upon the filthy man that I am.
And to you I owe
Everything.
All that I am.
This is not my life to live.
But yours. In exchange for the spotless lamb
Who was crucified
Beaten, crushed, maimed and torn
All so I could live.
A life reborn.
I now live my life for you.
Not for myself.
Not for my mother,
Father, or anyone else.
Father! I see you!
I have found my way.
And now I know
No matter how far I stray,
You will lead me back
And hold me tight.
I love you lord.
I will never again give up this fight.
For now I know
With you next to me
I can do anything.
And you are all I need.
