If I Could

If I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd set it to the moment before
I first discovered, that my only crime
Was desiring just to have some more.

If I could take back the words I've said,
I'd take back every arrogant boast,
The things I've said when I lost my head,
Hurting those I've loved the most.

If I could undo every unkind action,
I'd replace every furious frown,
With a loving, gentle, kind reaction,
To everyone who had pulled me down.

If I could change the thoughts I've thought,
I'd choose the meanest ones I could,
Of those by whom I've been hurt a lot,
And those I've sometimes misunderstood.

If I could set the record right,
I'd confess every dishonest claim:
I'd walk by faith and not by sight,
And to love would be my only aim.

Yes. If I could, there's a lot I'd change
Of all my past has ever been,
So, may God in future, my steps arrange,
May my mind stay pure and my heart stay clean.
