Forgive me, Father,
For I have sinned,
A sin
So black
It scars
My soul!
So evil
That it's inconceivable
I committed it!
Father, I know
The church preaches
That Jesus forgives
Even the unforgivable sins,
But what I did is
So bad and so wrong
That it is unforgivable.
There can be no mercy
Or absolution for me, Father,
I cannot be saved
I am doomed
To sin and sin again
And thus can
Never be cleansed.
