CONFESSIONS (FATHER FORGIVE ME) July 5/84 Karl Rigelhof

Father forgive me
For I have sinned
I have not finished
What I did begin
So long ago
You do not know
The fear I feel for failure

Father forgive me
For I have wronged
I strive to remember
But I have forgotten the song
I used to know
So long ago
For fear that my voice may falter

Father forgive me
For I have done harm
To the ones (that) I love
I had held it in my arms
So long ago
But I had to let it go
For fear that I would never be able to love an(y)other

Father forgive me
For I have been selfish
I have been so narrow minded
I could not help it
It was so long ago
But now I know
What I must do
To make amends
And live again
In the generosity of love
