Replace The Bad With Good
Dear Lord will you help push bad memories aside,
So that I only have room for the good,
Perhaps all the wrong I have witnessed in others
Could I possibly have misunderstood?
I would never want to leave the impression that I,
Have never hurt or done somebody wrong,
I'll be the first to admit that there've been times in my life,
My words or actions just didn't belong.
Maybe the pains and the hurts I've unleashed,
Have come back to just make me aware,
The sadness and unhappiness that I have caused others,
Can be handed back to me so that I too may share.
How human it is to just sit back and think,
It's only you who've been suffering with pain,
Too often I forget the flaws of my own,
And that I too become feeble and lame.
Perhaps I should just take a look at my slate,
And read all the words it contains,
Then take a deep breath and just wipe it clean,
And start fresh all over again.
It's a job that I know I cannot do myself,
So God I'm please asking you now,
Help me to remember the good that's in others,
So I can replace all the bad somehow.
