FORGIVE ME LORD ©Ron Burres
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK
IF YOU KNOCK THE DOOR WILL
OPEN
ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE
AS A PRODIGAL RETURNS I PRAY
FORGIVE ME LORD
FATHER I KNOW YOU WEPT
AS MY LIFE WENT ASTRAY
AS MY STEPS AND WEAKNESS
TOOK ME FURTHER AWAY
I KNOW NOW THE LASHES
THAT TORE THE SKIN FROM HIS
BACK
THORNS DRAWING BLOOD
UNTIL IT COVERED HIS HEAD
THE WEIGHT OF THE CROSS
AS HE STUMBLED AND FELL
FORGIVE ME LORD
FOR THE PAIN I ADDED THAT DAY
FATHER I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE
WEPT
AS YOU KNEW THE PRICE HE
WOULD PAY
FOR THE GRACE OF FORGIVENESS
THAT I PRAY FOR TODAY
I KNOW YOU WEEP WITH TEARS OF
JOY
EACH TIME WE PRODIGALS TURN
AND HEAD TOWARD HOME
AS WE PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS
THAT WE COULD NOT EARN.
HE SAID
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK
IF YOU KNOCK THE DOOR WILL
OPEN
ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE
