Forgive Me (Song Of Compassion)

Forgive me

For all the time I've wasted

For all the money that I've squandered

For all the times I've wondered away

Forgive me

For the times when I kept silent of you

When I sat in the corner of a room pretending I didn't hear

Forgive me father for I have sinned in so many ways

And I know that you love me and I love you too

But I've put myself first

More often than you

Forgive me

When I've turned and walked away from someone crying in need

When I've looked away from scenes of children dying in poverty

Forgive me

For doing things with motives that were wrong

And all along all you wanted was for me to sit alone with you

And sing my song

Forgive me father for I have sinned in so many ways

And I know that you love me and I love you too

But I've put myself first

More often than you

Forgive me for the jealousy

Forgive my pride

Forgive me for the bitterness that I have held inside

Forgive me for the judgement of others who aren't free

And all the mean hypocrisy and didn't see in me

I'm sorry

So sorry

I'm sorry

Sorry

For yours is the only opinion

Yours is the only opinion

That matters to me
