Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been walkin’ with a load on my back
Old mistakes sittin’ in the crack of my mind
Mama said, "Baby, every soul get weighed"
But I don’t know what they gon’ find
Late nights, hard streets, hard heart too
Kept my hands clean, but my thoughts got stains
If I leave tonight, tell me what I’m worth
Can a wounded man still say Your name?
[Pre-Chorus]
I been runnin’ from the mirror
Tryna outrun the shame
If You see me through the smoke
Lord, call me by my name
I’m askin’ low
I’m askin’ plain
Do You still reach down
For a man like me?
[Chorus]
Lord, forgive me now
Pearly gates, let me in
Lord, forgive me now
Make a new man again
Am I the man You want?
Or did I drift too far?
Lord, forgive me now
Keep me where You are
[Verse 2]
I seen friends disappear like they owed the night
One last text, then the screen went cold
I done chose pride over peace too long
Held my pain like a bag of gold
But I still feel Your hand when my knees hit ground
Still hear grace in the back of my chest
If this life is a trial, then judge my soul
I’m tired of tryin’ to beat the test
[Pre-Chorus]
I been runnin’ from the mirror
Tryna outrun the shame
If You see me through the smoke
Lord, call me by my name
I’m askin’ low
I’m askin’ plain
Do You still reach down
For a man like me?
[Chorus]
Lord, forgive me now
Pearly gates, let me in
Lord, forgive me now
Make a new man again
Am I the man You want?
Or did I drift too far?
Lord, forgive me now
Keep me where You are
[Bridge]
If my steps been crooked
Straighten out my road
If my hands been dirty
Wash this tired soul
I don’t need to be perfect
I just need Your light
Take this thugged-out heart
And teach it how to fight
[Chorus]
Lord, forgive me now
Pearly gates, let me in
Lord, forgive me now
Make a new man again
Am I the man You want?
Or did I drift too far?
Lord, forgive me now
Keep me where You are
