Errors of My Ways
I've seen  the errors of my ways,
It took me a long time to admit that.
I've found the love of the Lord again
that's what I needed to get back.

I backslid, stumbled and fell.  It was
all of my own doing - I'm to blame.
I turned away from the Lord
that was my great shame.

I can see now how stupid I was;
I can hardly believe that I strayed.
Forgive me, Lord,  for the times
I neglected You and never prayed.

You, Lord, are my comforter and my hope,
I've seen the errors of my ways that's for sure.
Yes, Lord, I admit that - because without
You in my heart I cannot endure.

Lord, you take away all of my burdens,
You also forgive my every sin!
I know where I'm going now, Lord.
Please help me to never backslide again.   Amen.
