Lyrics
I've turned my back on you. I've broken my promise
Taken your name in vain. I've been dishonest.
I've never gotten the hang of turning the other cheek
And I still don't know how to love my enemy
I fight with envy and I fight with lust.
I've even violated sacred trust.
I've been to hell and back a time or two
But I really want to be with you.
(Chorus)
But (Cause) you know everything, so you know that I try.
You know every thought that I think so you know...
That I love you with all of my heart.
I used to see you like a judge on a thrown.
Off in a corner sitting all alone.
But now I know that you're a loving soul
Who forgives me even when I'm wrong.
I keep on trying Lord to make you proud.
I sing your songs of love, I sing them loud.
I will do anything that I can do
Anything to be with you. (Chorus)
