One last try.
I looked in to the eyes of her innoncent face,
Her eyes brought me back to a hurtful place.
They cast a soft hand that tried to embrace
But the pain of my sins were much too great.
I was whipped and beaten back into disgrace.
I was scarred with a permanent horrible trace
That was almost too great for God to erase.
I was hurt and healed by the power of her eyes
After the lust, and the cussing, and all the lies.
I tried and I tried and I tried so many times
But I remember the reason Christ had died
And it gave me hope and it gave me pride
To give it one last try.
