PROMISES
God I am so sorry
I have offended thee
It’s always the same story
These sins that beset me
I cry out so sincerely
Confess and promise You
These sins I lay before thee
Again I’ll never do
Then comes a bright new morning
I praise and worship You
My sins have been forgiven
I’ll start my life anew
So here I am this eve-ning
What did I do today?
I thoroughly examine
What did I have to say?
Alas, the same old story
I have offended Thee
I come again so humbly
Knowing You will hear me
As I kneel down before you
I realize gratefully
Your promises to me
Are not like mine to Thee.
