I Apologize

I'm sorry, prodigal

If no ever one told you

Your Father's waiting for you at the gate

I'm sorry, wanderer

If I led you to believe

That your Creator wasn't proud of what He made

I've done all the wrong things

For what I thought were right reasons

I've been so unkind to you

I try, but I don't always get it right

I'm chasing Jesus, but I fall sometimes

Oh, and I, I throw stones in his name

And pretend He'd do the same

If I'm the reason why you believe the lies

I apologize

I'm sorry, questioner

If the answers that I gave you

Made you feel like tragedy was in His plans

I'm sorry, child of God

If I made you feel so small

That you fell right through the holes in His hands

'Cause I've done all the wrong things

For what I thought were right reasons

But that is no excuse

I try, but I don't always get it right

I'm chasing Jesus, but I fall sometimes

Oh, and I, I throw stones in his name

And pretend He'd do the same

If I'm the reason why you believe the lies

I apologize

For the words I said that Jesus wouldn't say

For the chance to love I just threw away

You are loved the way you are, I'm sorry I left out that part

Turns out I'm the one who needed grace

I try, but I don't always get it right

I'm chasing after Jesus, but I fall so hard sometimes

I throw stones in his name

And pretend He'd do the same

If I'm the reason why you believe the lies

I apologize

I apologize
