Don’t Bless Me

Don’t bless me, father, I’m just going to sin again,
For I know that no blessing can ever undo the pain.
I’ve failed you, and I failed myself, and I’m so deeply ashamed,
For I know that I’ve already broken the laws of your holy name.

I’ve heard your warnings and your pleas, but still, I choose to go astray,
And no amount of blessing can make me change my ways.
I’ve been tempted and I’ve been led astray, and I have no one to blame,
For I know that I’m the one that gave into these sinful games.

Your words of love and mercy have meant so much to me,
But I still can’t seem to find a way to break free.
I’m stuck in this cycle of sin and shame, and I just can’t seem to escape,
And no amount of blessing can save me from this fate.

So don’t bless me, father, I’m just going to sin again,
But I pray that you will forgive me and help me to begin again.
For I know that I’m not beyond redemption and grace,
And that I can find my way back to your loving embrace.
