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
