Lesson on How to Atone

     

        O Lord, Open my lips,

        and my mouth will declare

        your praise

               Psalm 51:1

It’s time to clean up

change my ways

find those I dissed

and get it right

Walk right up to

those I ignored,

those I laughed at

and set it different

Find those I need

to say sorry

Loosen my tongue

let me set it right

and then just watch

me raise my arms

shake my hands

shimmy and shout

and offer you praise

Hallelujah
