FORGIVE

FORGIVE ME, LORD,

IF SOMETIMES I FORGET,

YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REASONS

THAT ARE HID.

YOU UNDERSTAND THE THINGS

THAT GALL AND FRET.

YOU KNOW ME BETTER

THAN MY MOTHER DID.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON

ALL THAT'S DONE AND SAID.

AND RIGHT ME SOMETIMES

WHEN I TURN ASIDE.

AND GUIDE ME ON THE LONG

DIM TRAIL AHEAD

THAT STRETCHES UPWARD

TOWARD THE GREAT DIVIDE.....
