Where do I start...? 

I'm just sitting here...wondering 

how do I apologize

for so many foolish blunderings?  

Through the years 

so many times...I've done wrong 

there's been hurts inflicted 

and at times...I precipitated a sad song  

Sure, I could go there and say 

a lot of unfair games were played 

but...this is not about others 

this is about me...today  

Why take the time to defend...with  

I didn't do this...and I didn't do that?  

'cause the only thing that really matters is 

I've been set free by the 'Lamb' so...here's my hat; 

I wasn't always on this path...straight and narrow 

I did and said...things...that weren't right 

I followed hard after 'carnal' ways a lot  

I made gross errors...seemed every day and night  

Thus, I want to clean the slate  

because when I sleep forever... just to myself 

one day I'll stand before the judgment seat 

for me...and not for anyone else  

I need to ask for forgiveness  

for any pain...to anyone...I've caused  

I'm begging for your pardon 

for being 'lost' ...as I once...was 

However, let me make something plain 

I'm not saying that I'm perfect all the time 

here and there I come short...acting negative 

but Jesus is now in charge...my True Vine 

He's shown me 'sin' for what it is...still 

when I sometimes 'stumble' along the way...? 

His eyes...convicting...are always there   

seeing the mal things I may think, do...or say

He never lets me go but so far and  

daily reminds me...as my 'Good Friend'  

that His Love, more than enough to keep me 

will always be there...'til the end  

I want you to know...if... I knew Jesus back then

if...I knew Him in His soul saving way 

So many mistakes...I would not have made 

Sincerely, I'm 'so' Sorry 

...is all that I can say    

Matt 5:23-24
