Forgive Me

 Copyright (c) 2011 Chad K. Slagle

I've been wasting
Many years and many miles
And I've been tasting
Disappointments for quite awhile
 
And I've been cheating death
With a reckless Life
And I've been beaten down by worry and strife
 
And I have taken
What belonged to someone else
And I've mistaken
Success for what fails
 
I have wronged
A few folks along the way
And I have longed to find enough strength to pray
 
 
CHORUS:

   I have lived a life in darkness
   But your holy love, Lord has helped me to see
   The beautiful light that I truly am
   And that it's OK to Forgive Me

 
I have lost
Myself in the wine
And It has cost me
A friend of the truest kind
 
And I have walked
When I knew I should stay
And I have talked
When listening would have been the better way
 
CHORUS
 
Tag:
 
Yes I have learned to forgive others
 
So that I, can forgive me
