Forgive Me Lord
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
Sins causing Your grief, suffering
Put You on the cross, undeserving
Although not there, guilty nonetheless
May as well have swung the hammer
Punching those nails in, Satan’s guile
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
Let death’s blame fall upon this head
Murder the innocent Lamb of God
Life blood oozing, stolen shamelessly
Forgiveness, eternal life, freely given
World set free, praise the sacrificial Lamb
How terrible that death was
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
Guilt, shame, anger, disgust, sorrow
Feelings ripping through my existence
Why must I sin? So little control, weak
At fault, yet so easily swayed, misguided
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
Hope still remains, love prevails, peace
Death and pain bred such powerful compassion
Death has no power, Christ has risen indeed!
Clouds parting as You take Your Righteous Throne
God’s right hand, shining in blinding glory
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
Forgiven, sins laid bare, slate wiped clean
Holy Blood cleansing in my dirty heart
Flood of mercy washing over, light piercing dark
I thank you Lord, for giving me hope
You have forgiven, sin powerless, eternity
