You can hate who I used to be
because so do I;
she was a rotten person.
But don’t dare despise
the person I have become
because I know
she has a good heart.
I will still have trouble
with my sharp tongue.
I will do selfish things.
I will still be human,
but you have to forgive me
when I fall to sin.
Don’t hold it against me;
I’m still like everyone else.
Nothing changes overnight.
Don’t dare condemn me
because I won’t care
what you think.
Christ forgave me
because He loves me.
That’s all I need to know.
