I have grieved Jesus – v2

I have ignored Him
I have turned away
from the calling of Jesus
pretending not to hear Him
lost on my path

I have ignored Him
the call of my Savior
choosing destruction
years and years wandering
separated from God

I have rejected Him
Jesus, my Savior,
too comfortable in the world
I have turned my back
on the call of Jesus

A willful child
choosing destruction
passive – aggressive
seeking my own path
in the way of the world
