Shery Vincent - Forgive me

Oh Almighty,
You called me by my name,
I was busy in my happiness,
But I called you in despair,
When tears filled my eyes,
You gently wiped it away,
Forgive me my Lord.

Oh Almighty,
You told me to respect parents,
I believed it is their duty to care,
When I became a parent only,
I understood what you told me,
But was late to complete my duties,
Forgive me my Lord.

Oh Almighty,
You said me to love my neighbours,
I prejudiced them in preferences,
Who were not there in my difficulties,
But you sent 'the good samaritan',
To help me on my necessity,
Forgive me my Lord.

Oh Almighty,
You taught me through 'parables'
And I heard it like 'fables',
Never bothered about its morals,
But you made the parables true,
To save me from the fires of hell,
Forgive me my Lord.

Oh Almighty,
You prayed always for me,
When you were on cross also,
Like the cruel thief, I insulted you,
But you were very generous,
By raising your hand to heal me,
Forgive me my Lord.
