🎵 “Lord, I Am Sorry”
(A Lullaby of Mercy and Forgiveness)
Verse 1
Lord, I am sorry for the things I’ve done,
For every word, for every one.
For every time I turned away,
When You were near, I chose to stray.
But now the night has fallen low,
And tears like rivers gently flow.
I lift my heart, I lift my cry,
“Forgive me, Lord — don’t pass me by.”
Chorus 1
Lord, I am sorry — please make me new.
Wash me in mercy, pure and true.
Hold me close as I fall asleep,
My soul is Yours, my heart You keep.
Though I have wandered, I will not hide —
Your love still calls me to Your side.
Lord, I am sorry — let me be
A child once more, at rest in Thee.
Verse 2
The stars above, they softly shine,
But none so bright as grace divine.
Your mercy glows through darkest night,
And leads me back into Your light.
I’ve tried my ways — they’ve led to pain,
But now I seek Your path again.
I’ve fallen low, but You still hear,
You lift me up and draw me near.
Chorus 2
Lord, I am sorry — take my shame,
Cleanse my heart in Jesus’ name.
Let every tear that stains my face
Be washed away in Your embrace.
For though I stumble, though I fall,
Your arms are open through it all.
Lord, I am sorry — let me see
Your love that died to set me free.
Bridge 1 (Scripture whisper)
“Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)
“Have mercy upon me, Lord,
According to Your unfailing love.” (Psalm 51:1)
I close my eyes, and in the still,
I feel Your presence calm my will.
Your peace descends — the night is kind,
For grace and rest in You I find.
Verse 3
When morning fades and shadows fall,
Your gentle hand still guides it all.
You know my frame, You know my tears,
You’ve held me close through all my years.
No sin too deep, no heart too scarred,
That mercy cannot heal or guard.
Your cross still shines through all my pain,
Reminding me — I live again.
Chorus 3
Lord, I am sorry — take my fears,
And turn my sorrow into tears
Of joy that springs from love divine,
That says, “My child, you still are Mine.”
I rest tonight beneath Your care,
Your Spirit whispers, “I am there.”
Lord, I am sorry — let me be
Forever lost in love for Thee.
Bridge 2 (Prayer in the night)
When sleep descends, Lord, guard my soul,
And let Your mercy make me whole.
I trust You now — the past is gone,
Your grace has come, a brand new dawn.
Though I am weak, You make me strong,
Your lullaby’s my evening song.
I lay me down, my spirit cries,
“Forgive me, Lord,” — and close my eyes.
Verse 4
If dreams should come or silence stay,
I’ll know You’ve washed my sins away.
You whisper softly, “Peace, My own,”
“My grace abides — you’re not alone.”
And when the morning light appears,
I’ll wake renewed, released from fears.
For every night that ends in grace,
Begins anew in Your embrace.
Final Chorus
Lord, I am sorry — make me whole.
Your love restores my weary soul.
Breathe on me Your Spirit’s song,
And keep me safe the whole night long.
Though I have failed, still You forgive me.
Thank you Lord.
