My Mama used to always go on these rants

About how I shouldn’t let these boys get in my pants.

But you know back then I didn’t listen

Because I thought that I was pure Christian.

and I was always such a huge fan

Of maybe one day finding the right man.

To put a ring on my finger

And just hope that he may linger.

Spend a little time

While I get wined and dined.

But these dreams were just visions

Distracting me from my mission.

So therefore I strayed

And my purity did not stay.

I cried countless nights

Just wishing I had put up a fight.

At least I can say

I found a way to pray.

Dear God forgive me for I have sinned,

And I almost let the devil win.

But now I finally see the light

And I will try with all my might,

To stay on this righteous path

And I trust you know this is a fact.

You picked me up when I was down,

And now I no longer frown.

But smile at your gracious ways,

And promise to forever always pray.

I know you have forgiven my sin

For I almost let the devil win.
