Father Forgive

Father, do not let your anger fall on me;
Do not crush me with your wrath.
My many sins, they fester within me,
A loathsome road has been my path.

Your hand has shown me my evil ways,
The burden of my guilt overwhelms me.
Selfish sin filled folly has filled my days;
Now I humbly plead you will show mercy.

My heart groans in anguish and sorrow,
My body has become feeble and weak.
I tremble that there will be no tomorrow,
If you turn from me, my future is bleak.

Come quickly dear God do not tarry;
Do not forsake me do not be far away.
This burden of mine is too heavy to carry,
Remember the blood of your Son today.

Nothing I have done can ever save me,
Nothing I say or do, can replace you.
Only your forgiveness can cleanse me,
My salvation is found in you and only you.

It is by your mercy and grace I live,
Have mercy on your servant I pray.
Your grace I see in the blessings you give,
It is your Holy word that guides my day.
