Forgive Me Lord
by Barbara Philbrook

Forgive me Lord if I've done wrong,
I've tried to do Your will all along.
I asked for a way for me to serve,
that You even heard was more than I deserve.

I never meant to offend even one soul,
Forgive me Father if I've mistaken my role.
Forgive me for any offense I've caused,
the words he wrote have given me pause.

Should I continue doing as I was before,
his words are so painfully hard to ignore.
Father I'm placing this matter before You,
wishing only to do as You want me to.

I love You Father with all of my heart and soul,
and doing Your will is my life's goal.
Forgive me Father if I've offended You in any way,
I strive only to serve You every day.
