I have let you down again, Father.
Oh, how I tried hard but I’ll try harder.
Promises I want to make, I can’t keep.
I hate my talk, my talk is so cheap.
I’ve made it far, but I’ll make it farther.
Next time I will be stronger, better.
Next time your trust I will honor.
My shame is great, my sin so deep.
I have let you down again, Father.
A thousand times I claimed your martyr.
A million times I called you “Father.”
And here, again, I’ve fallen on my heap
Of sin and free of guilt I did sleep.
I have let you down again, Father.
