Dirty Hands

No matter what I do I feel selfish;

No matter how I try I fall short.

I can't tell anyone about this;

To hear it said would only

Break their hearts.

I pray that God forgive me,

But I'm not sure He can;

Have any of His children

Ever had such dirty hands?

However far I go, I'm still lost;

Whoever I try to help, I only hurt.

Maybe it's time I followed through;

I'd only be getting what I deserve.

Whatever I try to fix, I only break;

Whatever I try to say, comes out wrong.

I know people who say that they love me,

But I don't think they'll love me til I'm gone.

I pray that God forgive me,

But I'm not sure He can;

Have any of His children

Ever had such dirty hands?

I'm so sure that He's angry,

And I know that I can't hide,

But maybe He'd forgive me

If I finally just died.

They say that God forgives me,

But I'm not sure I can.

They say He's made me clean,

But I don't feel like I am.

I thought I was on solid ground,

But I settled in the sand.

I pray that God forgive me,

But I'm not sure that He can.

I pray that God forgive me,

But I have such dirty hands.
