repentance
Repentance
No mortal is perfect, not even I
I may never be, as hard as I try
My only sin is not my sin at all
It’s my neighbor, my brother, who should take the fall
When someone offends me I can never forgive
Their sin is my master for as long as I live
Because I’m offended my pride takes control
Of my life, my joy, and my very soul
It’s not fair that they sin, repent and come clean
While I harbor feelings, become hateful and mean
If there is to be justice, I guess it will be
That when they’re in heaven, they can’t offend me
For below I will be, it’s where I will live
Oh I pray my new master will let me forgive
