"Making Amends" lyrics

"Making Amends"

I'm making amends for all my poor choices
My bad behavior and all my misdeeds
With lovers and friends, I spoke in false voices
I was not someone to be believed

God, I know that it takes more than just sayin' I'm sorry
God knows it takes time to heal the damage I've done
But I'm making amends and tryin' to do better
I do not want to hurt anyone

God, I know it takes more than just sayin' I'm sorry
And just feeling regret does not set all the old wrongs to right
But I'm making amends and tryin' to do better
God, how I want to walk in the light
I swear I am trying to walk in the light
