FORGIVE DON^t FORGET

I spent some time playing in the dark
the next thing you know I^d lost my heart
not even a flicker just a little spark
I had no feelings was just a chunk of flesh
I began to abhor and hate myself
I hated those who reminded me of me
then God stepped in in His great mercy
with total acceptance of my apology
He told me I had been set free
my sins were forgiven and forgotten by Him
I needn^t go about stinking of gin
hiding my head over past sin

And now I^ve found my heart anew
I^m kind of sad but not really blue
temptations is in a brand new light
now I fight with all my might

I can^t forget the way I was
I had no friends but that^s because
there were no people in my mind
who took the time to be kind
I must forgive I can^t forget
cause I was of like mind

Jesus died on Calvary in sympathy for our kind
Will God forget His only Son^s death
Will He have lost His mind?

I live this life but can^t seem to find my proper place and time
My hope lies in His saving grace my faith in a Kingdom divine.
