Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I washed my burdens in the blood of the lamb.
I must admit I was a happy man.
But somewhere along the line- I went astray
Now I struggle each and every day.
And the righteous say- That I?m a-
CHORUS 1:
Backslider- fell back into sin.
Lord you- kicked out the demons-
but they crept back in.
Backslider- fell back into sin.
I once was found- but now I?m lost again.
VERSE 2:
I really don?t know what?s wrong with me.
I?ve chosen chains instead of being free.
And I don?t even know what I?d say-
If I got down on my knees to pray.
Let the righteous say- That I?m a-
CHORUS 2:
Backslider- fell back into sin.
Lord you- kicked out the demons-
but they crept back in.
Temptation?s waiting `round every bend.
I once was could see- but now I?m blind again.
VERSE 3:
I feel so lonely- so far from home.
On weary paths must the wicked roam.
I feel so helpless- but yet I know-
The lovin? Lord will never let me go
Yet the righteous say- I?m a-
CHORUS 3:
Backslider- fell back into sin.
Lord you- kicked out the demons-
but they crept back in.
Temptation?s waiting `round every bend.
I once was found- but now I?m lost again.
BRIDGE:
And I wonder- where?d I go wrong?
I turned around and inspiration was gone.
Every day it seems much further from me.
where is that Holy light that set me free?
And in my heart I know- That I?m a-
(repeat CHORUSES- ad lib- to end).
