WHO do you think you are; pray tell?
Some great person? The ball's belle?
You occasionally lie, swears slip from your lip
Your decisions can be faulty, especially when they turn against you, and
then you trip
How can you even try and defend yourself?
Making excuses to everyone else
"No one's perfect," you say.
"Everyone makes mistakes," From your mouth you spray
Your soul is hideous
The way transgressions spread within you is more than insidious
Everyone can see that you're covered in spots and stains
That detestable sin pulsates throughout your veins
Do you really think God loves a degenerate like you?
Do you really believe that Christ loves you too?
Because your offenses are many
And well, your good deeds aren't exactly of plenty
But you know what?
I know a little secret that'll get you out of your rut
It's just the right thing for a person like you
And it doesn't matter if right up until now you never knew
You can forget all your previous, and possibly shady dealings
For no matter how much you act or seem like someone who's depriving the
world of the oxygen you're stealing
No matter if you make a thousand mistakes
And no matter how many forbidden things you partake
I know this someone who'll forgive it all
And you know what? He already has... Now that I recall.
He'll take you under his wing
Along with all your indiscretions. Every little thing.
And all you have to do is do your best to follow his rules
I'm admitting they're a bit tough because I know you're no fool
But trust me in saying that they're definitely worth abiding
And this guy, he knows all, so there's no use for any attempts at hiding
Though the best thing of all that most people adore
Is that he already loves you and he will forever more
In fact he loves you so much he's already saved you at the expense of his
life
This man, he's my best friend, and his name's Jesus Christ
