in the darkness
all alone
and afraid
the tears fall
one by one
a memory contained in each
the times that I lied
or used you name in vain
the sin of lust
the shame of disgrace
the fear of letting go
all the times I asked
for forgiveness
and swore to try and change
and everytime I went back to sin
everytime I forgot Your name
but the most tears fall when
I remember when
and innocent man gave his life
so that me and You could one day embrace
just like a Father and daughter should.

Allstaria22, what a wonderful thought, just embrace.

I like your Bible reference, Isaiah 1:18:

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

In other words, He forgives all of our sins, no matter what they are, like a Father should. A wonderful thought. Thanks for sharing.

I feel the same way.  Such heartfelt expressions of the ultimate Father and child relationship ....  It is a blessing to know that when we confess our sin that He is faithful and just to forgive us and to think about His sacrifice on the cross still brings tears to my eyes even today.  May God continue to bless and embrace your sweet spirit.  -Bob
