Things I Say

I am afraid I've let time slip away. Do you feel betrayed 
now that you've turned to clay?
Things I didn't say to help you find your way. I let you go
 astray, and now you've gone away.
If I had portrayed, would you have fallen prey? Reaching 
out too late, gone is yesterday.
On my knees I pray, help me learn Lord from my mistakes. 
Those I meet try to persuade. No more living a pale 
charade.
Things I always say to help you find your way. So when you 
leave this place, Jesus you will embrace!
