Lord, I am sorry
you have given so much
and I take it all
and can not get up
off my knees long enough
to pass the gifts on

Lord, I am sorry
that while in my hand
the nine-tail split your back
and in the same hands
the circle of thorns
pierced your crown

Lord, I am sorry
that I nailed you to
the crosses in my life
without thinking
that Your absents could
bring emptiness

Lord, I thank you
that you made my crime
the road to forgiveness
and for the guide in me
that is your greatest gift
that is Your Love
