I'm silent by tongue alone
Tears, I refuse to shed
I hurt and the hurt echoes
In the corridors of my empty heart
I know my peace in commandeered
Because I haven't accept grace
Not only is it hard to forgive
I feel I must prove myself to be
Forgiven by the One who already forgave
I hurt the friends I thought I loved
I left them bleeding and crying
I turned my back towards my God
Fell in love with darkness and lust
I get myself into trouble; witchcraft is too fun
I run from God every night when I open a site
I hide my deeds under my bedsheets
And wonder why I weep the whole next day
I fear that I've done too much so I don't go back
I'm accepting the lies of the Enemy
I want to go back to God but I think I should fix things first
Is there any other way to fix things than to run
Back to the good, good Father of mine?
So why do I run and flee from it?
Shame and rage and fear keep me glued
Help me, Lord to accept the forgiveness You give
Else I am to be destroyed by my own soul!
