Sorry

Song Meaning

A short, plainspoken prayer of repentance built around the opening words of the Lord's Prayer. The singer addresses God directly as Father, honors His name as hallowed, then turns immediately to Jesus with a confession: "I'm sorry" for having turned away. There is no elaborate theology here, just the raw admission of distance and the request to be forgiven. The chorus shifts from confession to gratitude, recalling that God has always stayed close, that He brings the wanderer back into His arms and holds him tight. The closing line lands with unusual warmth — "Thanks Dad for not leaving" — a childlike, intimate address that reframes the whole song. Rather than dwelling on guilt, the lyric settles on the faithfulness of a Father who does not walk away from a child who strayed. The movement is from apology to thankfulness, from the ache of turning away to the relief of being received again. It reads less like a polished worship anthem and more like a private conversation, brief and honest, ending not in shame but in gratitude for a presence that never left.

Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be Your name
Forgive me, Oh sweet Jesus
'cause I turned away from You and I'm sorry

[Chorus]

You've always been by my side
You bring me back in your arms
You hold me tight
Thanks Dad for not leaving
