Forgive me for you who I have hurt

"Forgiven"(skillet, album -awake- 2009)

[V1]
Forgive me now cause I
Have been unfaithful
Don't ask me why cause I don't know

So many times I've tried
But was unable
But this heart belongs to you alone

[Chorus:]
Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven

[V2]
Forgive me I'm ashamed
I've loved another
I can't explain cause I don't know
No one can take your place
And there is no other
Forever yours and yours alone

[Chorus]
Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven
[Bridge]
Take me to our secret place
(We'll leave the world away)
I get down on my knees
Feel your love wash over me
There will never be another
You're the only one forever
And you know I'm yours alone

[Chorus]
 Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven

Forgive me, God for I have not put you first. Forgive me for it is you that this wretched man has hurt above all others. Shed your mercy and forgiveness on me and those that hurt from my sin. Only through you can my sins be forgiven and healing and growth begin. Shine on this wretched man the wonders of your love, that I may understand again the way of your light. I do not deserve it, nor do I earn it, NEVER EVER will I be worthy by any account other than by your love and grace. You tell me that if I confess to you, there is hope, if I truly repent, though I may stumble, you are there when I call, waiting for it. So I call out in fear, in reverence, in pain, and in sorrow, for my anger and disrespect, my sins, has become a cup of  wrath from you, and I deserve it.

 I lift up my soul, oh Father, I lay this weak body face on the floor, for I fear your righteous discipline, one finger of it, light as can be, would break this body and soul. I beg for your healing to those I hurt,  though this body of mine be ruined, and my heart be broken in infinite pieces,  please forgive me  and accept my repentence.
You love me and you only have the way. Mercy, grace, through your Son. I  lay my heart darkened by my sin before you. I'm at your mercy. Renew, cleanse, a miracle, please, again.

James 5:16a
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

1John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Revelation 3:19a
 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.
