Lyrics
Guilty Plea
(Amy Abernathy C 2015)
In this prison cell all alone, pain is all I've known.
I killed a man's son, it was his only one.
The waves of guilt have broken me.
Friday I received a letter from his dad.
He said I have something to say to you.
It sounds too good, but it's true.
Chorus
I forgive you, I forgive you.
I know you gave a guilty plea.
I mean this with sincerity.
I forgive you, I forgive you.
You're surprised to hear from me, but read entirely.
I want to extend an offer to you,
My grace and forgiveness is for you to choose.
Will you become my adopted child?
We'll be family, it will make me smile.
I will become you're father, you'll be my child.
Chorus
This may sound crazy, been thinking lately.
I have real wealth and I'll share it with you.
What I own will become yours too.
If you accept you will be one of my own.
It's a risky offer, but please think it over.
Chorus
Praying that you'll accept my plea,
The letter ended as he signed for me,
Sincerely the father of Jesus,
He was the son that belonged to me.
Accept my offer and I will set you free.
Chorus
Outro
Jesus was my son; you hung him on a tree,
But through his death, you can be part of
My Family.
I forgive you, I forgive you.
I know you gave a guilty plea,
But I forgive you.
