Here I am thinking again
Of how Bible games I can always seem to win
But yet it is so easy for me to fall into sin
Why should I even bother to pray and try again?
The answer is clear for some people to see
I need to go back to God on bended knee
So that once again I can feel free
But yet when God's face I see
He will say that He does not know me
So I say, but God, I worshipped your Son
He says, I know, but when did you make Him number one
You never wanted Him to come when you had "fun"
I never thought He saw the things that I had done
When I should have turned so I could run
Luckily though I have a friend
Who reminded me how fast things could end
And still have things I needed to mend
We cannot know how much time God has given us to spend
Therefore I think it is time to start a new trend
It's time to watch what I do
I hope you as my friend will help me too
Since I want to be in Heaven one day with you
So I will never again have to feel blue
Just keep reminding me that one day God will "sue"
When I was worried about God's protection
I discovered my life's realization
I see that I have become one big deception
I realize now I have a canfession
My life has become addiction after addiction
When I think of how things could have been
I see how tired I am of giving into Satan and his men
So Father please forgive me of my sin
And also help me to let You win
Now God I am truly yours again!

Lord, I've gone so far away,
Yet I know I "promised" you I'd stay.
So now you're telling me where to go,
But I keep telling You no.
How could I do that again?
I really want to let You win.
I am so scarred,
But my life still needs to be repaired!
Now help me to be strong.
I want to stop being the underdog.
It is time for me to return.
Please show me where to make a U-turn.
Here I am on bended knee,
Father please forgive me.
I hear You say, "you know I will,
Just sit and be still."
Father help me to listen;
Tell me how to become a better Christian.
God, Don't You hear me? Why don't You care?
He replies, "let others into your life and they can help you to prepare.
If you let others into your life,
You won't have to cover up as much strife."
Now I see why I need to open up!
I need to build those relationships back up.
Help me to be honest.
That way my life will no longer be a contest.
Lord lead me back to You,
That way I can work on being true.
My past is what I need to accept to feel free.
As I face those things, I need You to strengthen me.
Now as I go to try to forgive others for the past,
I need to your love to last.
Thank You Father for your love,
That You send me from up above.
