If Thy Heart Offends Thee......

This was a slow and very painful birth.

 

Have wronged you in some way?

Some offense without knowing.

Of this I assure you.

I was never my intention to cause you pain.

I would sooner injure myself then you.

Your silence deafens me.

Nothing can I do but fall to my knees.

Cry unto the Lord, beg your forgiveness.

 

Have I wronged you in some way?

I am a foolish man, prone to foolish things.

Not perfect, no any pretense to be so.

Just a simple man, prone to failings.

Beset with faults (and I have many)

Not trying to save the world, just my barren soul.

 

Have I wronged you in some way?

I am a foolish man, prone to foolish things.

Trying not to save the world.

Just my lonely barren soul.
