It is me again God <br />The sinner you know by name <br />For my answered prayer, I praise <br />And display my acceptance to Thy throne <br /> <br />Yesterday I passed by your door <br />And sensed your hand in my life <br />To accomplish my plot, I prayed <br />you alone understood the mission <br /> <br />Though I promised to be good for life, <br />The bad one did it again <br />his trap held me by the nose <br />Forgiveness you alone can bequest <br /> <br />I know this may sound familiar <br />Again I say forgive <br />This time I will not faulter <br />For this prayer is a fresh starter <br /> <br />Again I sin and again <br />Forgiveness I've asked in cycles <br />For the lie at the altar <br />And the lie at the quarter <br /> <br />To this list I keep adding <br />The bracket remains open <br />A sinner you know I am <br />This bracket I pray to close <br /> <br />Understand if I meander Oh Lord <br />Astray don't let me go, I pray <br />A sinner you know me by now <br />Amen I rest my case<br /><br />Simon Odhiambo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sinners-prayer/
