I Beg You Forgive Me



In honor of those who serve us in silence
---------------------------------------------



O Dearest Souls
How am I to listen?
What am I to do?
To pull my self from my own ignorance,
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I to listen?
When the calls come in
How am I to see?
When the signs are so clear
How am I to shut my limited self?
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I? How am I? How am I?
How am I to wake up?
How am I to open my eyes?
How am I to shed my illusions?
How am I? How am I? How am I?
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


O Dearest Souls
You who breath to serve me
I beg of you to forgive me
I beg of you to forgive my rude self
How am I to shed my anguish?
How am I to cure myself?
For I am so ignorant!
How am I? How am I? How am I?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I to ever honor your grace?
How am I to match your giving?
How am I? How am I? How am I?


Here I am, so self centered
So busy with I want, I want, and I want more
There you are a complete stranger
I have not ever met
Giving me a piece of your precious life!
How am I to match such a sacred gift?
How am I? How am I? How am I?



O Dearest Souls
I beg of you to accept my gratitude
I beg of you to forgive my poor attitude



Every morning I wake up it is you I need to thank
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for ever and there after.
