i'm Sorry

i'm sorry that i've been a terrible friend.
A terrible son;
A terrible brother.
i'm sorry for all the times
i put my own needs over another's.

i had no idea how selfish i was,
i've learned every moment is important because
We have no idea how much time we are given
(Man's life is more than just what he has and does).

It's about who you are
About the people you love
About the family God gave you,
A sacred gift from above.

i've run far away
...
...
...
...
...
...
From who i really am,
i turned my back on you;
Time proved me a sham.

So please God, hear me!
Hear my insubstantial prayer.
My cries feel too weak
                                                                                                   there.
                                                                      up
To reach you                   way

i cry not for me,
But for the brothers i let fall,
For the sisters that i've hurt,
For faiths i caused to stall.

Now i ask for your forgiveness,
Please give my life to them
For i would live and die
Fighting to continue in my sin.

Please Father---please!
Please give them precious time.
Some peace, some comfort,
Some holiness of Thine.

Something for the season to come
When days grow cold, grow dim,
And it feels as if life is all but done,
That it's easier to sink than swim.

When he wonders how to fill the space,
When the night is void and lonely,
Reveal your Will to him, my God,
Lavish grace and power holy.

Free him from the demons!
Remind him life goes on!
May he not forget the lesson learned:
That time is here...




then gone.
