Story Behind The Song
A gambler who I shared a house with and the expereince of reading magazines I did not want to read at the newsagent inspired this song which is all about going down on our knees in repentance for the umpteenth time.
Song Description
Real drums and bass played to sound like electronics and synths and heavy pads create a melancholy backdrop and intense longing which is later boosted by the entrance of the live strings and fermale Bvs

Lyrics
Lord forgive me
I have done things that I should not have done
Won't you cleanse me
You know I knew, I knew that it was ... wrong
It sounds so stupid
I've said it so many time before
But your forgiveness
And the peace it brings
Right now is worth far more
Far more
Your love is worth far more than my pride
Lord forgive me
I have not done things I knew I should
Selfish dreams between us
And all the things, the things I know are good
You've heard this time and again
And I feel so inept
How can you look at me
I'm falling down on my knees
Under the weight
Of this mountain of my debt ...
And my pride
Break me Lord
I know I can't hide from your look,
And your searching gaze and the truth you placed
The truth you placed inside
Far more
Your love is worth far more than my pride
More then my pride, more than my pride
If I could but once crucify all the lust of my hormones and pride
This is the key to joy
Fall .... to your knees
Far, far, far more than my pride ...
Your love, is worth far more than my pride
Wide, wide as the ocean is wide , wide wide ...
your love is as an ocean far and wide,
Far More ....
