Sin

Lord

I did it again

I committed the same freakin’ sin

The one I told You I would stop

Is the one I can’t seem to drop

I hate my flesh and its desires

It destroys us and makes me tired

Why can’t I be like You?

After all this time, I never grew

⸻

Pre-Chorus 1 (male voice)

This always has me feeling so unworthy

How could You clean something this dirty?

What’s wrong with me?

Do You still love me?

I can’t imagine You do

After all the times I can’t follow through

If sin separates, I must be light years away

I can’t imagine You are here wiping my tears away

Yet I know You do

I know Your words are true

I just don’t know what to do

I need You to make me new

Tell me I’m loved

Descend on me like a dove…

[pause]⸻

[Jesus’ voice] Verse 2

My son, my delight

Don’t you know my words?

Has it been that long since you heard?

If you say you are without sin

Then there is nothing there to mend

Those that think they are clean

Will never be clean without me

But if you confess to me

I am faithful and you are free

That’s not a license to sin

My law will never bend

It’s about the posture of your heart

That’s what determines if we’re apart

You are my son, grafted in

You are clean and I call you friend

You struggle because I am in you

You grieve because I grieve too

Flesh and spirit do not mix

That’s why I came, it had to be fixed!

Child, don’t you know?

This pain helps you grow

Please know that you are loved!

My love for you is in my blood…

My child, my son

I hold no sin against you

Not even one

You approach me in humility

You’re not doing this in vain

Its not futility

No one knows the limits of my love

For as high as the heavens are above

So great is my steadfast love

Run the race and finish well

Remember my love in the cross and nails

I knit you in the womb

You really think I’m not here in this room?

My child, my son

Your story has just begun

My child, my son

You are covered in my blood

My Father only sees me when He sees you

This blood begins with the back row pew

No one holds a stone anymore

Go and sin no more

I know you’re not perfect

I know you don’t deserve it

I don’t expect perfection

In order to receive my affection

My son, this is why I’ve come

You can’t do what I have done

My child, rest in that, rest in me

You’re doing right by falling to your knees

Leave this sin behind

Just follow me, you are mine

Just like a shepherd with a lost sheep

I’ll save you from the valley deep

I’ll leave the ninety-nine

Every time

I’ll leave the ninety-nine

Every time

I know you’re not perfect

I know you don’t deserve it

You and I know the verdict

No need to be nervous

Because I paid it all

I paid it all

When I said it is finished

Just know that I meant it

Sin separates, that part is true

But this humble repentance makes you new

You are precious to me

It’s okay, just follow me

My child, my son

You are loved
