Father Forgive Me
Father forgive me for my sins
What is in my mind Father, I don't know where to even begin
I have yet to do anything in the flesh, but I am weak
The thoughts of carnal knowledge raced through my mind, as I innocently kissed her cheek
Father please grant me the strength to resist
I will need you more than ever, once our lips finally meet in a kiss
Lord keep me on the righteous path with your word to ponder
I fear as she is close and I touch her skin, my hands will wander
I ask for forgiveness now Father, please hear my cries
My mind may be strong, but my body will be weak once I meet the gaze of her eyes
