Analysis of Astray
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
Please take me back for I have gone astray. Forgive me oh Lord don't put me away. The things that I do is out of control. What must I do to save my soul. I awake in the morning with sin on my mind. Think about rightgeousness I haven't the time. The flesh is at work with its sinful need. Thinking of lust sexuality and greed. As the day goes by the feeling gets stronger. Really can't take this feeling much longer. If we follow God there really is an end. Of what we call ongoing sin. So never feel lost if you happen to stray. For God is forgiving each and every day. Praise and adore him even with a dance. Do it always whenever given the chance.
