I said that I was sorry

For the mistakes I've made

I said I'd never go back

To my old sinful ways

I said that I would serve You

With all that I am

Yet time after time I failed

Allowing the sin You once erased

To take over my life again.



My inability to keep these promises

Is tearing me apart inside-

All I wanted to do

Was to show You how much I love You

How much I want to feel Your presence fill my life

But my humanity got in the way

Blocking my view of Your glory and love

And every promise I made

Every prayer and vow

Turned to ash in my mouth.



I kneel before You, my King

My heart is broken

My soul is weary-

I no longer want control of my life-

I want to give it over to You

I want You to have every part of me.



I'm desperate, Lord

I need You now, more than ever before-

I want to feel Your love wash over me

Cleansing my heart, my soul

Of this sin, this guilt, these regrets.



I need to know, Lord Jesus

Have I left it too long-

Is it too late for me

To return, to turn my life around?



Please, don't give up on me

Please don't turn Your back on me



I want to come home, Lord

To leave behind the remnants of this broken life

I want to give my everything to You

And follow You for the rest of my days.
