Dear Jesus, I'm sorry I didn't get you anything for your birthday; with all the things you have given in me, you certainly deserve something in return. Of course, you didn't ask for anything but my love and devotion, and I know I have been less than stellar in those catagories. I'm sorry for taking your name in vein, as I undoubtedly have. I'm sorry for the fallacies I have told, as I have certainly told many a yarn this year. I'm sorry that I did not keep the Sabbath Day holy, that sleeping in was more important on Sunday's than spending time devoted to You. I have neither honored my father or my mother with steadfast love nor have I loved my neighbor as I love myself. I am sorry for this as well. I am sorry for straying from you, Lord, and that you did not take precident in my heart this past year. Help me to change my ways and make improvements upon my character next year. Help me to redevote myself to you, to baptize myself in your Holiness and to make me pious again. Though I didn't get you anything, I wrote you a song, Lord. Here it is:
dear jesus save us from pain guide us through the darkest days i pray your light won't burn away
dearest jesus deliver us again in these times of trepidation guide us to salvation
show us the way
i am on my way my way to you I am on my way back home
dear Jesus I'm looking for Your Light In these times of endless night You're the Beacon buring bright
dearest Jesus You've shown me hope You've been the best friend I have known You'll never leave on my own
i am on my way my way to you I am on my way back home
Thank you, Jesus, for saving me from damnation, for saving my only eternal soul from the torment of Hell. I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you so much.
