Forgive Me?

Stand by me and show me the way.
Open a door, a window, a floorboard, a hole!
Anything to help me get out of the shadows.
Remove the stone and show me the light.

I've done you wrong. I know I have.
Please forgive me as I beg and pray.
Have mercy on me as noone else has.
Please, bring me closer to you.

Release this demon from my back.
Unhitch his claws and send him to Hell!
Free me of these burdens I bear.
Rid me of my impurities and set me free!

I want to come back to you-
Live in the light and in your glory.
I'll get down on my knees and beg.
Just tell me what I need to do.

Please God, answer me!
Tell me I'm forgiven!
Tell me I may enter your temple!
Please God-


            help me return...

Author notes

I used this background because it symbolizes the removing of the stone on Easter morning and how I am asking Him to remove it for me the way He removed it before. I have many sins I am not proud of. I do not hold my head high. I lower it in shame when I walk. I am asking the man that found me for forgiveness and asking him to take me back into his holy temple when I pass on. As I wrote this my breath grew short and my heart quickened. The reality of it just about put me into tears. I am not worthy of such compassion after all I have said and done about Him. But now that I have learned the error of my ways I am desperately seeking His help and trying to turn my life around. I just hope he has enough compassion in His heart to forgive me and take me back.

Please tell me what you think

    Powerful and moving!!

    This was a really great write. Sometimes when you are in the darkness for so long it feels good to move towards the light. I used to not believe in God either until he helped me out of a hellish situation. Ever since then my life has been 100% different in a good way. All I know is God forgives us if only we ask him to. No one is proud of their sins and trust me I'm no angel. We are only human and we are going to make mistakes. God knows that, and you were probably forgiven before you first uttered those words. God is like our mortal father. No matter what we do he might shaKe his head but he always loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. I'm glad for you. Take care and God bless you man. T.S.
