-
I cry out to You,
My God and King.
Please forgive me
For I have been sinning.
I thought it was okay
To stray slightly.
But I went too far
And turned away ignorantly.
I am kneeling before You,
Too burdened by my sins.
I don’t know what to say;
I don’t know where to begin.
I remember a night
So many years ago
In which I was doing this
And I felt my life go.
For I gave up myself
For You to use,
So sure I would never
Go back to evil views.
I feel like the careless son
Who yearned for more
Than he needed,
And ran out the door.
He sought riches
That were needless.
His prizes were sorrow
And loneliness.
Let me return
From going astray.
I feel so guilty
Because You I betrayed.
Please forgive Your child,
And her many iniquities,
For I know I failed
To carry out Your deeds.
Throw open Your arms
As You did for the son.
I know I don’t deserve it
But I know what You’ve done.
Let me stand by You
And follow Your ways
So that You may favor me
Wiping the tears from my face.
