"To The Lord of All I Have and Will Be"

“To The Lord of All I Have and Will Be”

Forgive me – I never meant to cause you pain

Forgive me – I did not mean to bring it back again

Forgive me – I give all I have in me

Forgive me – please take this for what I will be

There are so many times – I’ve fallen down and failed you

There are so many times – I’ve not seen us through

There are so many times – You’ve heard my silent cries

Forgive me – I know I’m not worthy of your time

Forgive me – I know I don’t deserve the peace in the rhyme

Forgive me – Take me in, I’ll serve you more

Forgive me – Please take all I have, don’t leave this shattered core

How can I ask – For you to give me anything?

How can I ask – For you to give me the rhyme to sing?

How can I ask – For anything more, when you gave up your son?

How can I ask – Any request after all I haven’t done?

Forgive me – I thank you for how freely you give

Forgive me – I thank you for allowing what was shadow to live

Forgive me – I give you all I have in me

Forgive me – please take this for what I will be
