🎻 Title: “Forgive Me Father”
[Intro – soft violin, spoken tone]
I missed church on Sunday…
I knew it was wrong…
But Your grace still found me…
[Verse 1]
Missed church on Sunday, heart felt weak inside
Knew I should’ve been there, but I let it slide
Stayed tangled up with someone off Your path
Ignored that quiet voice, Lord, I felt Your nudge and wrath
Knew they’d be looking, calling out my name
But I chose distraction, now I feel the shame
Then it hit my spirit, deep down in my soul
If I don’t show up, who’s there to make me whole?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been searching, Lord, trying to find my way continuing to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Pastor said it’s insanity.
Didn’t know You were right there… calling me back to pray to put the Holy Spirit and everything he will lead the way
[Hook / Chorus 🎻]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
I let the world pull me away again
Cleanse my heart, Lord, deep within
I surrender all… grant me that divine turn around
Forgive me, Father, hear my cry
I need Your mercy in my life
Pick me up, don’t pass me by
I’m coming home… I won’t deny
[Verse 2]
Next day came, pastor calling, checking in
Prayers went up for me, covering my sin
That’s when I realized, Lord, You never left
Even in my weakness, I was still blessed
I was searching for You, didn’t know You’d find me
Led me to a place that would redefine me
World Changers showed me how to stand
A divine turnaround was already in Your plan
[Pre-Chorus]
You said repent, don’t live the same
Following my way just brought me pain
[Hook / Chorus 🎻]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
I let the world pull me away again
Cleanse my heart, Lord, deep within
I surrender all… I’m Yours again
[Bridge – violin swells, prayerful tone]
Luke 11 2-4
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy holy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
As in heaven so in earth, give us day by day, our daily bread, and forgive us our sins for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
Give me strength for every day
Forgive my sins, I choose Your way
Lead me not to fall again
Deliver me from evil, amen
[Breakdown – spoken prayer]
Take this lustful spirit out of me
Tame my tongue, Lord, set me free
Search my heart, my mind, my soul
Make me one, Lord, make me whole
[Final Chorus – bigger, choir enters 🎻]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
I’m not going back to where I’ve been
Filled with Your Spirit deep within
I’m born again… I rise again
Forgive me, Father, hear my plea
Your grace and love have rescued me
Now I walk in victory
Forever Yours… You set me free
Thank you, Lord Jesus, amen
