I've had this poem for a while, which I copied out of a newsletter. What with all our discussion about music, it finally sunk in that these are lyrics, and not just verse. :-) So now I'm looking for a soundclip of it for a sense of the actual flow.

Obviously, this isn't April Wine.


"Just Between You and Me"

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both for far too long now
Since we've parted ways

I've been wrestling with my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away

Just between you and me
I've got somethin' to say
I wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom (now)
Just between you and me
I've got something to say

If confession is the road to healing
Forgiveness is the promised land
I'm reaching out in my conviction
I'm longing to make amends

So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken
For I've betrayed a friend
We have a love that's worth preserving
And a bond I will defend

In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son I must consider this
Offenses unresolved will keep me from the throne
Before I go to You my wrong must be atoned
