12. Forgive Me

Covenant
by Psalm

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
God forgive me for this vanity I fall for
Trying to give myself the glory knowing that it’s all yours
I fall short of the kind of man I try to be
Filled with pride violent fires deep down inside of me
And I can act so self righteously so it isn’t always Christ they see
Please let them see some light in me, for it may be the light they need
And please forgive me for this filthy mouth I talk with
Never seem to see the way I’m talking can be toxic
Forgive me God for every single time I back slide
Falling on my back side then looking up to ask why
With all the times I’ve fallen why you still calling
And how am I supposed to walk with you I can’t even keep crawling
So please forgive me for all the ones that are lost
Because I led them down a path that led away from the cross
And now I’m saved by your grace while they still carry their burdens
With all the people I’ve hurt in this life I’m so undeserving
But you forgive me for everything that I’ve done
With unconditional love, washed in the blood of your son
If you forgive me God like I know that you do
Won’t you put it here inside my heart and help me to forgive them too

HOOK
I - I’m so weak
Never can find what I seek
But oh God in you I try
Won’t you lead
This broken man
I do what I can
Please forgive me God of mine

VERSE 2
God I thank you for your continuing grace
Through all this hate that’s in my heart and all this sin in my face
And God I thank you for the way you always hold me
And slowly mold me from the tired broken old me
Console me when I’m down at my worst
And I’m drowning in hurt so low I’m doubting my worth
But then the clouds all disperse and I hear the sound of your mercy
And it really don’t matter how often I fall you pick me out of the dirt
So God I thank you and I give you my life
Cause when I tried keeping it for myself I wasn’t living it right
Needed a different type of approach you’ve given me sight
So now I’m wishing you’d write me in God I’m itching to fight
The battle let me handle demons I’ll scatter em
With the power of Jesus’s name, swearing the reason I came
Only to bring in the flame, wait for the season to change
Heavenly kingdoms to rein, people saying he’s insane
Maybe they’re right because I’m crazy for this new love
Cause for the first time in my life yo I feel true love
So God I thank you and all things that I do
Are ever working towards the day that everyone else will thank you too
