I've taken a bite of the apple- Off of the forbidden tree,

So what I do now won't matter- If He hasn't forgiven me.

People tell me to repent- But I don't regret what I've done,

I've made many mistakes- But I wouldn't take back not one.

Because the things that I've done- Have made me who I am,

I get pulled underwater- But I came up and swam.

Been put in many jams- I've had my back to the wall,

I came out swinging- And so far- I've made it through it all.

But If I should fall- As I have done before,

I'll pick myself up- Dust myself off- And go at it once more.

You see- I've sent my words to him- And still no reply,

And still you expect me to not wonder why?

When the demons showed their face- He turned away,

And when I asked him what happen- He had nothing to say.

And when the darkness of the night- Continued through the day,

I believed in Him- That He'd show me the way.

"He never gives a man more than he can take",

But I cracked under the pressure- It was more than I could take.

But the question that I ask- Was it all part of his plan?

Was it all His intentions- To make me a stronger man.

Did He not give me guidance- So that I could find it on my own?

Or did he just desert me- And leave me all alone.

That's what's wrong- Because I still don't know,

I have to keep going- But which direction to go?

The Devil's at my door- Saying that we should be friend's,

Telling me God will not forgive- Until I apologize for my sins.

And if he is telling the truth- Then I'm hell bound forever,

'Cuz I don't regret my actions- Not then- not now- not ever.
