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.
