Not Sorry but Forgiven

So easily we say I’m sorry

When we have done something wrong

It may be sincere or phony

We just say it to get along

But the truth is we need forgiveness

Not just an apology said

I’m sorry is so overused

The word might as well be dead

But to ask for forgiveness is harder

It says that I truly feel bad

For the thing that I’ve done to hurt you

I hate it that you’ve become sad

I pray you’ll forgive me for what I have done

I pray that we still can be friends

And when you say all is forgiven

We will celebrate throughout the land

In response to the Daily Prompt Apology

Accepted

When I first came to Jesus

I just did not know

If He would take me as I was

Or say I’d have to go

My life was a disaster

I’d been a mess for years

And when I learned my fate was hell

I burst out into tears

I couldn’t understand

How He could still love me

Because I’d done so many things

To shun His great mercy

Drinking, drugs and lust galore

Filled my thoughts each day

I figured there was no way out

I’d truly lost my way

But then a good friend told me

Of His amazing grace

That He had taken all my sins

And died to take my place

Now all I had to do

Was accept His sacrifice

So when I asked Him in my heart

He’d fill me with new life

I figured why not try it

I had nothing to lose

The thought of hell forever

Had me shaking in my boots

So I knelt down at the alter

And I asked Him to come in

And I felt a stirring in my soul

Like a rushing, mighty wind

From that day forth my life has changed

Now heaven Is my home

And life on earth is so much more

Of joy and peace and hope

I know deep in my heart

That Jesus loves me so

And now that He accepted me

There’s something you should know

He loves you right where you are

With a love that never dies

He wants to have you as His own

He wants to change your life

So don’t wait until your ready

Just cry out to Him today

And you will be accepted

Your sins He’ll wipe away
