Do not guilt me with my own beliefs
Even G-d requires a contrite heart
Full confession is the place to start
Before your soul will find release
Your choices aren't mine under any condition
Do not lay them at my feet
The cross is where guilt and the Savior meet
If you truly desire the fruit of contrition
To say that killing yourself either now or later
Does not make up for perverted whims
Suicide doesn't pay the cost of sins
When you stand before your Creator
For what has mattered from the start
Does not lie in the cost of what you did
But in your acceptance to no longer keep it hid
Confess it all with a broken heart
Do not seek to run from the past
For it is already behind you
Accepting it is what you must do
For forgiveness that counts and will last.
