Forgive me Lord for the times I disgrace myself
I ask for your forgiveness, God, for the times when I have acted in ways that go against your teachings and my own values.

Restore me and I will return
If you forgive me, I promise to repent and turn back to following your ways.

Your discipline is that which I have known and loved
I understand and appreciate the guidance and discipline you have provided me with thus far.

Teach me Lord for I long to learn
I am eager to continue growing in my faith and understanding of your teachings, God.

O how I need your closeness
God, I deeply desire to feel your presence and guidance in my life.

Your words are tender
I find comfort and reassurance in the compassionate and loving messages you impart to me through your teachings and scripture.

Your spirit it sets me free to live
I feel liberated and empowered by the guidance and inspiration provided to me by your holy spirit.

Free to move in the river of your love
I am able to navigate life's challenges and experiences with greater ease and grace thanks to your boundless love and grace.

Know your blessings and know the joy you give
It is important to recognize and appreciate the abundance of blessings that you provide, God, and to find joy in those gifts.

My shepherd come and cry for me
Guide me and comfort me in times of hardship, God.

Hold my arms as I carry my cross
Provide me with the strength and support necessary to bear the burdens in my life and follow your teachings, God.

To live and to die for you is my hope
I aspire to live a life that is dedicated to serving and honoring you, God, and am not afraid of the challenges and sacrifices that may entail.

In ya house I know I'll never be lost
I find comfort and security in your temple, God, knowing that I will always find my way back to you there.

Where love is real
In places where genuine love and compassion exist,

And love is you
and where the essence and embodiment of love is found in you, God,

And life goes on
you can continue to progress and thrive in your own life,

Round and round we go
with each new challenge and experience leading to new opportunities for growth and learning.

After I strayed I repented
After I made mistakes and acted against your teachings, God, I expressed remorse and sought to make amends.

After I came to understand my whole heart cried
When I fully comprehended the impact of my mistakes, I was filled with sorrow and regret.

I was ashamed when I heard you call my name
Knowing that I had acted against your teachings, God, made me feel embarrassed and unworthy when I heard you call out to me.

When you ran to meet me with your arms wide
Despite my mistakes and shortcomings, you greeted me with open arms and an outpouring of compassion and support, God.

How my heart was rotten with the sin of my youth
Reflecting on my past mistakes, I felt weighed down by the guilt and shame caused by the foolish actions of my adolescence.

Till you washed me with tears and made it known
You cleansed me of my past sins, God, and made it apparent that my mistakes do not have to define me or my future.

That you longed for me O my Father
It became clear to me, God, that you have always cared for and valued my wellbeing, despite my past mistakes and imperfections.

You sang a love song and made my hurts your own
You offer me unwavering love and compassion, God, and take my pains and sorrows as your own.

What I could never comprehend
There is much about your boundless love, God, that I will never fully understand or grasp.

The love and the compassion you have for me
But it is clear to me that you harbor an infinite amount of love and compassion for me, God.

My God and my King, my Hope and my Friend
You are my God, King, and the source of my hope and friendship, God.

There will be blue skies
Despite the challenges and difficulties that may come,

There will be blue skies all around
there will still be moments of happiness, peace, and hope to be found.

We will be shining
With your love and guidance, God, we will be empowered and shine in our own lives.

We will be shining like the sun
Our spirits will be bright and full of hope, radiating love and compassion to those around us.
