Bleeding Truth

I have a question to ask and it haunts my peace
Total honesty, even though it hurts, that’s what I seek
No matter how deep the truth cuts or how much I bleed
Open your heart and mind show me, that’s what I need
Would you open the door and take me in out of the cold
No matter how dirty I appeared hospitality would you show
I know my path has not been one you would follow
Would you show compassion for a soul that appears hollow
I know I said I would not repeat my numerous mistakes
But I did many times over again and my brokenness in me awakes
Disappointment and failure I see the reflection in my own eyes
Although I am so sorry all I feel is self loath and I cry
Would you please forgive me just one more time
The path I’ve followed stretches far such a crooked line
Could you try and see me as the person I am striving to become
Not broken by mistakes but a new person that overcomes
I extend this dilemma to you and I want you to know
All this I give to you my son and to you I show
Open door of shelter, compassion I give to you in true love
Never ask yourself these questions again, I lift you up to our Father above.
