Asking for Forgiveness (For OSI and Sunday Scribblings)

I come to this hallowed place
Knowing that it’s a start
Asking for forgiveness
For the hardness in my heart

Look to you for guidance
After so much pain I’ve felt
How dare I try to question
The hand the Lord has dealt

I’ve been a poor example
Of a Christian woman’s role
The anger and resentment
Eroding at my soul

It’s time to try again
Let hurt and anger fade
Find the shine of love again
Instead of a masquerade
