[read slowly]
I forgot you get jealous when I'm in love with someone else
I forgot you have bigger and better plans for my life than I do
I forgot you’d rather me sing about you, than someone else
I forgot you gave me your word
I forgot you promised me happiness
I forgot the world revolves around you
I forgot your name matters
I forgot you are real
I forgot this isn’t a game
I forgot how much I need you
I forgot how much I love you
I forgot how much you love me
I forgot how you paid for me
I forgot I’m in debt to you
I forgot what you require of me
I forgot how hard it is
How forgetful am I. [conveniently.]
[you'd better read this...]
Have mercy on me, O God
According to your unfailing love
According to your great compassion
Blot out my transgressions
Against you, you only, have I sinned
And done what is evil in your sight
So that you are proved right when you speak
And justified when you judge
Let me hear joy and gladness
Let the bones you have crushed rejoice
Hide your face from my sins
And blot out all my iniquity
Create in me a pure heart, O God
And renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
And grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me
Save me from bloodguilt, O God
The God who saves me
And my tongue will sing of your righteousness
O Lord, open my lips
And my mouth will declare your praise
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it
You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
A broken and contrite heart
O God, you will not despise
[Full version]
Jesus, I don’t want to forget about you
I’m not happy.
I don’t feel satisfied.
I don’t have purpose.
I feel like a hypocrite because I take the bread and wine every time I go to church, and disregard you for the rest of the week.
I’m tired of forgetting about you
Help me to remember you like you remember me
sincerely,
n.j.

sadly, i can very much relate to this. i think we all forget. all the time. that is probably why God gave us His word. :)
