Lyrics
Forgive Me
Written by Stephanie Lightfoot
Verse I
My life was never what I wished it to be
I was abused, misused, confused and used my wants and greed
I was searching for the truth, it was inside of me
I would question you and ignore the signs you revealed to me
Could you forgive me……
Forgive me..
Verse II
My path was laid and I delayed my destiny
I choose the wrong turn too many times
And you still stayed by me
Bad choices wasting time, but you had plans for me
So you let me live and learn and waited patiently
Chorus
Could you forgive me……
Forgive me.
My Lord forgive me..I am grateful
Forgive me…I am grateful
Verse III
I lost my soul to temtation but you always led me
You would guide me back to the road of my destiny
All the Angels and Guides, who sent to enlighten me
Now I choose to use my highest self and live for thee
Chorus
Bridge
For all the struggle hurt and pain and victorys
For your patience as I stumble and your faith in me
For the life and blessings that you have bestowed on me
For the precious miracle of life conceived through me
I promise not to stray
Most High only the truth will be revealed through you….
Chorus
Bridge II
My Lord Most High
Captivated by your intensity
My absence, until I stumbled and you would come to me
For my wisdom to be earned through time and experience
I will use my highest self and live for thee
I promise not to stray
Most High, I know you’ll lead me the right way
