First, I must apologize
For the whips I slashed across your skin,
only to pursue selfish thoughts
For the nails I drove into your precious hands and feet,
only to protect what I thought to be important
For the crown of thorns I fixed upon your smooth locks,
only to turn my back on You, who gave me everything
Your blood saving me,
when I clung to life by a thread
And yet,
it took me till now to realize
Now I shall fall on my knees
with praying hands
Because before I never gave a fighting chance
For the whips I slashed across your skin,
only to pursue selfish thoughts
For the nails I drove into your precious hands and feet,
only to protect what I thought to be important
For the crown of thorns I fixed upon your smooth locks,
only to turn my back on You, who gave me everything
Your blood saving me,
when I clung to life by a thread
And yet,
it took me till now to realize
Now I shall fall on my knees
with praying hands
Because before I never gave a fighting chance
