the Same Mistakes
I curse myself again
I look in the mirror
All I can see is my sin
I have tried to run,
tried to hide from the pain within.

I released it all the way I knew how,
I tried to get everything out,
but I failed once more to escape
and I was found crying in sin's wake.

I want so badly to be who I need to be,
not who I was, but who He does see.
I want so much to do things right,
I want so much to not be afraid of the night.

I keep falling to my knees,
as I make another mistake,
letting my past dictate who I am,
but no longer can I let it tell me who to be.

My hatred no one can see,
My darkness is hidden from their eyes,
but You see my faults,
and You see my blackened skies.

I can't fix this on my own,
I can't make it go away,
I need You and You alone,
if I have hope of facing another day.

This is why You sent Your Son,
the Holy and Forgiving One.
For those who fall like me,
so that finally,
love may we see.
