Please Forgive

I wish you were here

In front of me now

While my heart is humble

And I'm willing to say

I'm sorry

I wish I could go back

And undo what I did

Take back what I said

And start that day over

When we were still friends

I wish that regret

Could buy your forgiveness

Your cup would run over

There would be no end

To your riches

Please forgive me

And let your forgiveness

Be complete

A washing away

Of all my offenses

Make for me please

A place in your heart

Where your love can embrace me

Even knowing I can fail you

Let your forgiveness heal me

Let your forgiveness protect me

Let your forgiveness change me

Let your forgiveness be…as God's
