All saints were sinners



Tears running down my face
Trailing to the center of my throat
Reliving all of the lies and stories I've ever told
"Dear God"; hear my prayer
Let me make amends
to all those broken and those that bent
Forgive me- while I come to you again and again
Let me raise up in prayer
Let me be there making others aware
Let me forgive myself in this process
Let me live this holy life ever after
