I carry with me to this day,
The sins that may never go away.
God the Father, see my shame
Forgive me as I show my pain.
I am not perfect, as you see.
I am and always will be just plain old me.
Mistakes will come and they will go,
They will help me as I grow.
People say my heart has nothing I should show,
But this they really do not know.
I love, I cherish, I even praise,
But I wonder, will this help me through my days?
So now you know what's inside of me,
So please forgive me and set me free.
I do not mean any harm,
And do not wish to cause alarm!
