Forgiven
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
For all the times I’ve failed to Love Your Spirit deep inside of me,
Where hatred and neglect have grown and kept me from the seeds you’ve sown.
I promise to release this day each wall I’ve built that blocks my way
I’ll open to Your Spirit true and learn to love myself as You.
I see now, Lord, you Live in me; Your presence always nudging me.
Your message always sweet and clear: “Come my child, I am here”.
Yet at times I turn away, proceeding on my self-made way.
Down that path I walk alone. I don't see where I’ve gone wrong.
And comes a time I cannot breathe; fear and doubt have conquered me.
No longer do I know you’re near; I do not feel your Love so dear.
It’s at this time I pause again and give to You my deepest pain.
Forgive myself for what I’ve done, and hear You gently ask: “Please come”.
So now, dear Lord, I pray to see: I pause to feel your Love in Me.
I go within to seek Your light, to hear Your guidance clear and bright.
I give myself the gift of You; forgive myself with Love that’s true.
And then I go along life’s way, I love myself and all this day.
