Sing In His Praise

I breathed heavily
As it pinched me really
Nothing could save me
From feeling easy and free

I did harm to some one
In fact it was known to none
Yet I felt it with deep remorse
I was awakened by divine force

Who am I to cause trouble?
Why someone should be made to struggle?
What good it may deliver?
I felt bad and shivered

I took vow not to repeat
Looked toward sky and accepted defeat
Not more such things in future
I needed soul to reassure

In this holy moth I took vow
Knell down honestly and bowed
The sanctity of holy views followed
Prayed almighty for good conduct to be allowed

I feel suddenly relieved
As I have often believed
God does help to that sincere human being
Who wants to repent and in His praise sing?
