Because I Knew Not When My Life Was Good,
And When There Was A Light Upon My Path,
But Turned My Soul Perversely To The Dark,
O Lord, I Do Repent.
Because I Held Upon My Selfish Road,
And Left My Brother Wounded By The Way,
And Called Ambition Duty, And Pressed On,
O Lord, I Do Repent.
Because I Spent The Strength Thou Gavest Me
In Struggle Which Thou Never Didst Ordain,
And Have Imperfect Life To Offer Thee,
O Lord, I Do Repent.
Because I Was Impatient, Would Not Wait,
And Thrust My Willful Hand Across Thy Threads,
And Marred The Pattern Drawn Out For My Life,
O Lord, I Do Repent.
