In Spite Of It All

In the twilight of my life
I now look back through the years
To the good times and the bad times

Filled with laughter and with tears

And I see that I have failed to be

What You would have me be

So before I go I ask You

To forgive me

LORD You know that it's not easy for me

To confess that I was wrong

It's a problem that is common to us all

I was much too blind to see

That this applied to me

And I could not see the writing

On the wall

But now that I do

I'm asking You to forgive me

The cost has been high and before I die

I want You to know

That while there's still time

And I still have my mind to remind me

I want You to know that I still love You

In spite of it all

Lately my old memory

Has been playing tricks on me

And I can't remember things

I used to do

But I can still remember LORD

The way I used to be

So I have to clear the air

Before I'm through

As a father and a brother

And a husband and a son

I have failed the ones

That meant the most to me

But that was way back when

And I did not know You then

When I was full of pride

And just too blind to see

But now that I do

I'm asking You to forgive me
The cost has been high and before I die
I want You to know
That while there's still time
And I still have my mind to remind me
I want You to know  that I still love You

In spite of it all

I want You to know that I am sorry

In spite of it all
