Scripture: Psalm 6
Lyrics:Forgive me
For going where I shouldnt go.
Forgive me.
Its not like I didnt know-
Know that it was wrong; still I played along.
I went ahead.
Forgive me
For even letting this begin.
I was weak, wanted to be taken in.
I saw the danger there, but I said I didnt care.
I went ahead.
It makes my bones ache and I cant sleep
And how my spirit cries out for peace.
Im worn out from my tears.
Take my prayer. I know you hear.
Mercy, Lord.
I cant take it anymore.
I want out.
Help me find the door.
Its time to tell the truth. Im tired of my excuse.
Ill follow you.
Love me, Lord,
Even though I hate myself.
Just for me
You took the punishment of hell.
Bled for me and died, but I threw your gift aside.
Im sorry, Lord.
And I accept what happens now.
Youll take and shape it for good, somehow.
I dont know what to do,
But Ill go on, knowing you
Forgive me.
