Yes, HE will forgive me for what I have done,
And will forgive me for what I have not done.
I tasted the darkness and swallowed a bit of it,
And I felt everything was fine in its way.
I slept a while with the voice of the dark world heard:
'O! You! Where are you from?
Will you stay with ever?
Will you go back to HIM?'
I lost my peace in the dark world.
I asked myself: 'Why did I taste the darkness?'
I woke up and knelt before HIM.
'I did what YOU hate in me,
And I did not what YOU love in me.
Cleanse me with THY BLOOD, and take me back to YOU,
Let me be THINE, forgiven and blessed in THEE'
Yes, HE hath forgiven me for what I have done,
For I let my soul drenched in quagmire of pleasures a while,
And I locked HIS from me a while.
Yes, HE will forgive me,
For I let my soul confess the tasteless darkness.
