Gordon Lightfoot
Forgive Me Lord
[Verse 1]
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned

[Verse 2]
Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain't got much to lose
Give this place one season without shame
Forgive me Lord, I've sinned again

[Bridge]
I been down on my luck, as a matter of fact
I've even been chaste
Drifting along, singing a song
For the whole human race
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact
I'm even well known
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh
On the road that leads home
I got no more time left to roam

[Verse 3]
If you love me, take this world and build it as you please
With a little help from the likes of me
Keep it safe from harm and make it pure
Forgive the rich and save the poor
[Bridge]
Like the dust on the wind I've been taken again
By my foolish pride
Drifting along, singing a song
That's how I get by
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact
I've even been chaste
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh
For the whole human race
I got no more time left to waste

[Verse 4]
If you love me, make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my face a different point of view
Forgive us Lord if we run to you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
If you love me, make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
