"Forgive My Sins" lyrics
(feat. Mani Strings)
Forgive My Sins
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
Now I've been sittin' here thinkin'
There was a time I lived my life, wasn't depending on drinkin'
My mother calls me every day, just to see how I'm doin'
Can't put emphasis on my struggle, 'cause my pride is still brewing
Look what this brew got me doin', these spirits growing, influencing me
I'm fluently sinning, as far as church, I've been truant
I know, I'm wrong
It's been, so long
I can't go on like this...
So I
Fall on my face and cry out, "LORD please forgive me
For using liquor to run away from the burdens YOU give me
Over the years I've rode the fence and LORD I've grown so tired
But YOU told me to whom much is given that much is required!
But LORD the pressures of this life? It put fear in my heart
And I'm afraid to claim Your name then be a stumbling block
Guess that's no different from placing Your talent under a rock
But I don't know what else to do, I'm giving all that I got!
And now I'm thinking of a drink, just to get me through
Instead of falling on my face, and talking to You
Father GOD, just like Paul, yeah, I delight in Your law
I wanna make myself available to answer Your call!"
Forgive my sins
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
Forgive my sins
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
And now I'm drunk and ashamed
I had just asked The LORD to take this, only got me to blame
Put the key in the ignition, drove away from the bar
I woke up, I realized
I had just crashed my car
I call my friend, I'm belligerent, speaking straight outta ignorance
Called Laniesa straight after, she spoke as if I was innocent
She said, "Boo, where you at?"
I told her that "I don't know!"
I look up, I realized, I barely missed that pole
I open the door, my feet in the snow, not sure where to go, I was so lost
So broken down and so cold
So much in me that moment that I just wanted to cry
I could've been gone in the fire, crying, lifting my eyes!
Thought... this was it for me
He spared me once again, it was His gift to me
I cried from my soul
My face to floor I'm hollering, "LORD I adore you!"
See, something inside had clicked in me - hallelujah
Forgive my sins
Dear LORD
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
Forgive my sins
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
You loved me from the beginning
And LORD I'm yearning to listen
I know it's not what I do but it's the sin that's within me
So LORD just take it all out. LORD get this taste out my mouth
Restore me to the place You found me, on the floor of my house
In that room, eight years old...
Was with You, all alone
Crying out, "Father GOD, can't wait to get back home"
For I know not what I do
Father help me find the truth
Now I've been sittin' here thinkin'
There was a time I lived my life, wasn't depending on drinkin'
My mother calls me every day, just to see how I'm doin'
Can't put emphasis on my struggle, 'cause my pride is still brewing
Look what this brew got me doin', these spirits growing, influencing me
I'm fluently sinning, as far as church, I've been truant
I know, I'm wrong

I can't go on like this...
