I'm on both knees
With my hands closed together.
I'm asking God to please,
Forgive a horrible sin.

The horrible sin
Was not one of mine.
But the sin of a loved one,
Who was in quite a bind.

I don't know
If she prayed for herself.
So I will have to show
Our wonderful creator
That I want him to save her.

Claude Davis III
