Forgiveness-found!
(a
country Salvation! song)
I
sat quiet alone in a noisy crowded bar-room
Nursing
three-fingers ’o dark-amber liquid Jack
Drowning
my sorrow of self-afflicted doom
Broken-hearted
’cause mama won’t take me back
Hot
Holly sauntered close with tempting ruby lips
My
resistance faltered weak as she touched my hand
Invited
transgress with those lovely swaying hips
I
wiped an errant tear at the glow of my wedding band
None
of this any fault of my wife---an
Innocent dove
Forgave
my transgressions again with sweet kisses
Through
it all she never once betrayed her tender-love
Begged
another faux promise, remained my Misses
The
setting sun beamed through a dirty window
Cold
rain had passed now sunshine won the day
I
picked up the glass to let the demon-Jack flow
Resolving
a final act to end my painful play
Took
a purposed-detour on my way to the river bridge
No
longer in control of my destiny now so miserable
One
more look at our once-happy house up on the ridge
Read
the sign in the window---I’m a sorry-despicable
“Daddy
come back! We love you and need you here”
My
eyes filled with tears; I lost my will to roam
“Forgive
me! I forgive you! I love you, my dear!”
In
big black letters it said: Please come back home!
Into
the driveway I pulled as I sacred-swore
I
nearly lost it, all I had, almost threw it away
The
kids and lovely wife met me at the door
Thank
You! Lord! For opening blind eyes this day
I
nearly lost it, all I had, almost threw it away
Thank
You! Lord! For opening blind eyes this day
Thank
You! Lord! For opening blind eyes this day
