Forgiven
Forgive me, the back slid Christian
forgive me, the sinner
forgive me, oh Lord
for you are perfect and holy.
Forgive me,
because there's nothing I can write
to make the things I did all right.
Yet you still find delight in what I say,
even though my mouth has turned
against you in so many ways.
Forgive me is what I pray,
I want to come back
because I don't want my belief hidden.
I don't want just religion,
I want to be the real Christian
who walks in faith that you have given him.
And as I end my prayer,
I knew I was forgiven right then and there.
