My thoughts are running wild,
thinking of these past sins.
Hear the words of this child,
my cries within,
where do I begin.

I just hate myself,
for the things I have done.
But why is it Lord,
I always seem to run.

There's not one excuse,
for what I do.
This heart of stone,
these dead man's bones,
they're crying out to you.

Are these just idle words
coming out from these lips.
Same old lines,
time after time.
Am I losing my grip,
in this sinking ship.

With praying hands,
I come in Your presence.
Before You I do stand,
with words of repentance.

I wish I could erase,
the stupid things I've done.
These haunting memories,
that forever lingers on.

Will I ever learn,
from these foolish mistakes?
Will I ever learn my lesson,
what will it take?

Hear my plea, on these knees,
Lord God, set this mind at ease!

As I pray on my knees,
tears form upon this face.
My sins I do lay,
life no longer gray.
my iniquities are erased.

Healed by Your divine grace.
