Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor I wish we'd all been ready Children died the days grew cold A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold I wish we'd all been ready There's no time to change your mind The Son has come and you've been left behind A man and wife asleep in bed She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone I wish we'd all been ready Two men walking up a hill One disappears and one's left standing still I wish we'd all been ready There's no time to change your mind The Son has come and you've been left behind Children died the days grew cold A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold I wish we'd all been ready There's no time to change your mind The Son has come and you've been left behind The Father spoke the demons died How could you have been so blind There's no time to change your mind The Son has come and you've been left behind I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind |

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish thing I do What's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of a saviour I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light The disease of self runs through my blood It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf has failed To bring this sickness under control I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose) The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused) Pride has no position (And riches have no worth) The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth) Has been sentenced to this earth |

Brennan Manning: The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. What if I stumble? What if I fall? Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord? Or do I simply serenade For things I must afford? You can jumble them together My conflict still remains Holiness is calling In the midst of courting fame 'Cause I see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need Your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if I stumble What if I fall? What if I lose my step And I make fools of us all? Will the love continue When my walk becomes a crawl? What if I stumble And what if I fall? What if I stumble What if I fall? You never turn in The heat of it all What if I stumble What if I fall? Father please forgive me For I cannot compose The fear that lives within me Or the rate at which it grows If struggle has a purpose On the narrow road you've carved Why do I dread my trespasses Will leave a deadly scar Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing? This time I cannot disguise All the doubt I'm feeling What if I stumble What if I fall? What if I lose my step And I make fools of us all? Will the love continue When my walk becomes a crawl? What if I stumble And what if I fall? What if I stumble? Everyone's got to crawl When you know that You're up against a wall It's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl When you know that Everyone's got to crawl When you know that You're up against a wall It's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl When you know that I hear You whispering my name (You say) My love for You will never change (Never change) What if I stumble What if I fall? What if I lose my step And I make fools of us all? Will the love continue When my walk becomes a crawl? What if I stumble And what if I fall? What if I stumble And what if I fall? What if I lose my step And I make fools of us all? Will the love continue When my walk becomes a crawl? What if I stumble And what if I fall? What if I stumble What if I fall? You never turn in The heat of it all What if I stumble What if I fall? You are my comfort And my God Is this one for the people Is this one for the Lord? |

(I got something for you, man)
(Go for a ride) Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface I flee to something deeper At the risk of seeking purpose How can I hang in this environmental state of being When everything I'm striving for Is nothing that I'm seeing (chorus 1) Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul Won't You come and make me whole again You, You've got what I need and You never retreat Unto You I will concede (chorus 2) So help me God To put my faith in You So help me God Before I come unglued Call it my addiction I can't get enough of You So help me God To put my faith in You Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners But daily taking up my cross Has brought it's share of splinters You're there when I call And You're there when I fall Even though I don't deserve it all You, You light my way Through the night and the day And from You I will not stray (repeat chorus 2) (vamp) (repeat choruses 1 and 2) God so help me This is my soul plea I'm desperately devoted I can't get enough of You So help me God Cause You are the one I love Cause You are the one I need (I need you) Cause You are the one I'm seeking (Every single day) Cause You are the one for me (I just walked into a meet in 3...

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We've got a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son, I must consider this Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne Before I go to Him my wrong must be atoned |

Wipe the poison from my brow Alas my love, this guilty night It gives me up like a foster child And in this moment I take my vow These angels sleeping at my feet And in this moment you do not know how How my spirit wants to flee" You see it was one man against the night Taking on a multitude That had left Him high and dry No candle burning vigil could light the way Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite He wrestled until morning With human souls and dark angels And there He finished His work On the third day |

We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the Lord's If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure (1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4) Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man Should make it easy for you to see That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones As a part of our anatomy We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace We're colored people, and they call us the human race (Oh, colored people) We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space (Yeah we've got to come together somehow) We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world (Red and yellow, black and white) We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl (Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah) |

Day By Day
by DC Talk I live a simple life, I take a day at a time I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze As a physical world creates a spiritual haze Blinded by distractions Lost in matterless affairs Reaching through the darkness Trusting You will meet me there (chorus) Day by day, day by day Day by day, day by day Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three] To see thee more clearly [day by day] To love thee more dearly [day by day] To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it] Day by day You cruise around the corner You watch your back You sweep your feet down alley streets Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming Monday, man you’re on my back Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden No, You cannot condemn me I won’t buy your bag of goods You’ve got nothing for me anyway That’s why I pray (repeat chorus) These three things I do pray Day by day Day by day, by day, by day [These three things] Day by day, by day, by day [I do pray] Day by day, by day, by day, by day it’s one step out of time As you walk Day by day Go to God and pray, |

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish thing I do What's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of a saviour I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light The disease of self runs through my blood It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf has failed To bring this sickness under control I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose) The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused) Pride has no position (And riches have no worth) The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth) Has been sentenced to this earth |

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams Been apprehended by a spiritual force And a grace that replaced all the me I’ve divorced I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly It wiggled around like marmalade jelly It took me a while to catch what it said Cause I had to match the rhythm Of his belly with my head ’jesus saves’ is what it raved in a typical tattoo green He stood on a box in the middle of the city And claimed he had a dream (chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak What will people do when they find that it’s true I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak There ain’t no disguising the truth Kamikaze my death is gain I’ve been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek There was a man from the desert with naps in his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn’t too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this jesus freak (repeat chorus) People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek For I wasn’t the man that I am today See I ran the games like tate manned his fade Max was a factor in those early days We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays Until the word cut through us like a buck knife And so deep, I’ll be a freak for life (repeat chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak [what will people think? ] What will people do when they find that it’s true [what will people do? ] I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak [what else can I say? ] There ain’t no disguising the truth [jesus is the way] (repeat 2x) What will people think? I don’t really care |

In my mind, I can see Your face
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace Some people tell me that You're just a dream My faith is the evidence of things unseen In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind You know what I'm going through I know this is true 'Cause You stood in my shoes Desire's inside of me But it's hard to believe In what you cannot see Can you catch the wind? See a breeze? Its presence is revealed by The leaves on a tree An image of my faith in the unseen In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands The foreign lands of life In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I'm where I belong As I rest in your arms And like a child I hold on to you In my moment of truth, yes I do We can ride the storm Endure the pain You comfort me in my hurricane And I'll never be alone again In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I can see Your face Love pours down in a shower of grace Life is a gift that You choose to give I believe we eternally live Faith is the evidence of things unseen People tell me that You're just a dream But they don't know You the way that I do You're the one I live to pursue Can you catch the wind?

the greatest single cause of atheism
in the world today Is christians who acknowledge jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. What if i stumble? What if i fall? Is this one for the people? Is this one for the lord? Or do i simply serenade for things i must afford? You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame Cause i see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? Father please forgive me for i can not compose The fear that lives within me Or the rate at which it grows If struggle has a purpose On the narrow road you've carved Why do i dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing? This time i cannot disguise All the doubt i'm feeling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble? Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that I hear you whispering my name you say my love for you will never change never change What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? You are my comfort, and my god Is this one for the people, is this one for the lord? |

The other night I met a girl
And she looked to be so nice I asked her for the digits And she didn't think twice A couple of days later called her up and asked her out She said,'with you?' I said, 'with me,' And then she said, 'without a doubt' I took her to the Garden where I guess they grow the Olives She wore a tighter skirt Than any I had seen in college She said, 'I love to smoke and drink While cursing like a sailor' I asked her where she got her mouth And if she had a tailor Finally I walked her to the door to say goodnight She said, 'I am an apple, Would you care to take a bite?' Politely I refused and said, 'I'm looking for a lady' So she slapped me in my face and said, 'Boy, you must be crazy' Different from the ones before Different from the ones before, she's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say, 'I hope she comes my way' Well I'm lookin' for a girl who virtuous Cause God laid it on my heart to search for this So I open up the Word to the book of Proverbs The 31st chapter tells me all about her Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain A woman who fears the Lord, she ain't playin' Hear what I'm sayin', cause I'm sayin' it clearly She's the kinda girl I gots to have near me She's that kinda girl. Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way, The kinda girl that makes you say... Well I'm lookin' into hookin' with a lady And not a girly of the worl'y that's shady But the kinda girl you meet Behind the doors of a church Ya see, God will bring her to me So I don't have to search Too hard I've been scarred by the ones of the past So put an APB out on the one that will last A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure But a bona fide lady's what I'm prayin' for When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, perfect for each other There'll never be another for me She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say 'I hope she comes my way' Heaven help me, hear my plea I know there's one who's perfect for me When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her, By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, I pray she come's my way She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say... She's that kinda girl (ya know what I'm saying) Different from the ones before She's the one that I adore She's that kinda girl (hey, the girly aint playin') virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say 'I hope she comes my way' |

Wipe the poison from my brow Alas my love, this guilty night It gives me up like a foster child And in this moment I take my vow These angels sleeping at my feet And in this moment you do not know how How my spirit wants to flee" You see it was one man against the night Taking on a multitude That had left Him high and dry No candle burning vigil could light the way Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite He wrestled until morning With human souls and dark angels And there He finished His work On the third day |

Separated, I cut myself clean

From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams Been apprehended by a spiritual force And a grace that replaced all the me I’ve divorced I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly It wiggled around like marmalade jelly It took me a while to catch what it said Cause I had to match the rhythm Of his belly with my head ’jesus saves’ is what it raved in a typical tattoo green He stood on a box in the middle of the city And claimed he had a dream (chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak What will people do when they find that it’s true I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak There ain’t no disguising the truth Kamikaze my death is gain I’ve been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek There was a man from the desert with naps in his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn’t too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this jesus freak (repeat chorus) People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek For I wasn’t the man that I am today See I ran the games like tate manned his fade Max was a factor in those early days We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays Until the word cut through us like a buck knife And so deep, I’ll be a freak for life (repeat chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak [what will people think? ] What will people do when they find that it’s true [what will people do? ] I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak [what else can I say? ] There ain’t no disguising the truth [jesus is the way] (repeat 2x) What will people think? I don’t really care |

(In my mind, I can see Your face
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace Some people tell me that You're just a dream My faith is the evidence of things unseen) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind You know what I'm going through I know this is true 'Cause You stood in my shoes Desire's inside of me But it's hard to believe In what you cannot see Can you catch the wind? See a breeze? Its presence is revealed by The leaves on a tree An image of my faith in the unseen (chorus) In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands The foreign lands of life In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I'm where I belong As I rest in your arms And like a child I hold on to you In my moment of truth, yes I do We can ride the storm Endure the pain You comfort me in my hurricane And I'll never be alone again (repeat chorus 2x) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I can see Your face Love pours down in a shower of grace Life is a gift that You choose to give I believe we eternally live Faith is the evidence of things unseen People tell me that You're just a dream But they don't know You the way that I do You're the one I live to pursue Can you catch the wind? (Can you see God, have you ever seen Him? I've never seen the wind I seen the effects of the wind But I've never seen the wind) Can you see the breeze? (There's a mystery to it) (repeat chorus) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I see You there again) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I know You'll meet me there my Friend) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I know You're there, I can touch You there) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I want You there, I need You there, I see You there, I know You care) (And I believe, and I believe, and I believe) |

(I got something for you, man)
(Go for a ride) Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface I flee to something deeper At the risk of seeking purpose How can I hang in this environmental state of being When everything I'm striving for Is nothing that I'm seeing (chorus 1) Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul Won't You come and make me whole again You, You've got what I need and You never retreat Unto You I will concede (chorus 2) So help me God To put my faith in You So help me God Before I come unglued Call it my addiction I can't get enough of You So help me God To put my faith in You Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners But daily taking up my cross Has brought it's share of splinters You're there when I call And You're there when I fall Even though I don't deserve it all You, You light my way Through the night and the day And from You I will not stray (repeat chorus 2) (vamp) (repeat choruses 1 and 2) God so help me This is my soul plea I'm desperately devoted I can't get enough of You So help me God Cause You are the one I love Cause You are the one I need (I need you) Cause You are the one I'm seeking (Every single day) Cause You are the one for me (I just walked into a meet in 3... And everybody's starin' at me... I gotta go) |

A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color And this is not acceptable His papa taught him so It was love that he'd been preaching But this was overreaching The boundaries stretchin' further Than his heart would choose to go Like an angel with no wings Like a kingdom with no king What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Speak your mind, look out for yourself The answer to it all is a life of wealth Grab all you can cause you live just once You got the right to do whatever you want Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become Mom and Dad are fightin' As Rosie lies there crying For once again she's overheard Regrets of their mistake With Christmas bells a-ringing Little Rosie'd leave them grievin' The gift she'd give her family Would be the pills she'd take An inconvenient child She wasn't worth their while What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Speak your mind, look out for yourself The answer to it all is a life of wealth Grab all you can cause you live just once You got the right to do whatever you want Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become What about love? What about God? What about holiness? What about mercy, compassion and selflessness? You know it's true He is there for me and you Doesn't matter what you do What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Have we come undone? What have we become? Have we come undone? What have we become? Selfish... ??? With selfish... ??? Selfish people When you gonna learn? Everyone of us Gathered 'round in trust What have we become? |

the greatest single cause of atheism
in the world today Is christians who acknowledge jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. What if i stumble? What if i fall? Is this one for the people? Is this one for the lord? Or do i simply serenade for things i must afford? You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame Cause i see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? Father please forgive me for i can not compose The fear that lives within me Or the rate at which it grows If struggle has a purpose On the narrow road you've carved Why do i dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing? This time i cannot disguise All the doubt i'm feeling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble? Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that I hear you whispering my name you say my love for you will never change never change What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? You are my comfort, and my god Is this one for the people, is this one for the lord? |

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away Just between you and me I've got something to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom (now) Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We have a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son I must consider this Offenses unresolved will keep me from the throne Before I go to You my wrong must be atoned |
