Forgive Me Father If I have turned my back on those in need, if I have been hateful toward another, if I have been selfish and full of greed, if I could have been a better mother, Father, I pray that You forgive me and I know that You will. You will hear my plea and love me still. If I have uttered something I regret, if I have wandered and fell off track, if I have gossiped about someone I met, if I have been shoved and I pushed back, Father, I pray that You forgive me and I know that You will. You will hear my plea and love me still. If I have worried about a frivolous task, if I have not always had the right thing to say, if I have taken before I ask, if I have been ungrateful in any way, Father, I pray that You forgive me and I know that You will. You will hear my plea and love me still. If I have an indecent thought, if I could have helped more, if I have overlooked something I should have taught, if I have ever felt angry or sore, Father, I pray that you forgive me and I know that You will. You will hear my plea and love me still. Father, I know that you hear my prayer, and You will not abandon or ignore. I know that You are never unfair. You will be waiting for me upon Your shore with open arms forgiving my mistakes, letting me start a life fresh and new, erasing the pain of this world's aches. You will take me into Heaven and I'll reside with You. |
