I've made a lot of mistakes in my life

by Chaplain Anthony Murphy Site Admin

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life
that created anger, bitterness and strife
I hurt a lot of people even in my family too
I hope this hasn't happened also to you
 
It grieves me now that I am growing old
That my friends and family treat me cold
I deserve what they think of me that's true
I only hope that they can forgive me
before my life on earth is thru
 
This life can be filled with happiness and joy
If we lead the life my mom and the bible taught me as a boy
Jesus is the answer now I know it's true
He forgave me totally and gave me a life anew
 
I'm still paying for my sins with my family and friends
I'm asking for their forgiveness so we can make amends
I hope and pray that I will get that email or call
Telling me that I forgive you, you are my friend or dad after all.
It happened, thank God,  and I am so glad That was one of the happiest days I've had Now we can once again be family and friends I want to do the right thing now until my life ends.
