Heavenly Father I’m so sorry, I regret everyday what I did,
It was a terrible thing to do, how I retaliated against that kid.
Revenge it got the best of me, I guess frustration too,
And I didn’t feel any better, why did I see it through?
Revenge it was so sweet, at least that’s what I thought,
But misery and suffering, to me is all it brought
My promise to You, is that it won’t happen again,
Looking back at it now, it caused so much pain.
And it all happened, because of a stupid fight,
When we argued and argued that cold winters night.
That fight it went on, and sent me over the top,
Why did I go as far as I did? Why did I not stop?
What I should have done, was stop and turn to You,
You would have guided me, and shown me what to do.
So I pray Lord You will help me, next time I go off track,
The World gets harder everyday, but You’re there to guide me back.
I know You’re always there, to lead me out of strife,
This is what I learnt, when I allowed You in my life.
Revenge is not the answer; forgiveness is the only way,
Forgive your foes for what they’ve done, do this without delay!
