Purify Me

Once again I stood in the shower washing away my sins
Once again I scrubbed hard trying to remove a filth that was beneath my skin
The cowardice, the weakness, the shame, and dishonor
The pain, the delight, the sadness, and regrets, I ponder
Once again when I will get the strength to break this cycle of pain
Once again when will I see the benefits of the gain
I have a problem, inextricable with my foundation
I have many issues, road blocks to some of my destinations
Once again I plea, is my father disappointed in me, I know I am
Once again he loves me, and shows me his grace, I know I can
So when I stop this cycle, I no longer will have to deal with my shame
Once again when I will know that I am the only one to blame
