Here’s my confession to you
Every word I hold as true

These things I’ve done have caused a rift
Have sent my course far adrift

I can’t even express how sorry I am
For the indirect betrayal of the lamb

So I say these things for healing power
I will not walk alone through this hour

I’ve been cheated and cheated others of their purity
Although I’ve recovered and apologized I’m the object of pity

I’ve sulked and skulked in the dark corners of my pride
I’ve walked away from simplicity to a complicated side

Separated from the only one who can save
Taking others with me to my grave

From dust we came to dust we go
The body may be gone but God holds spirit and soul

Because of this God promises someone who will redeem
By all the powers of heaven his victory will make us clean

The snake may nip at his heal
But he will crush his head with power, might and zeal

So sons of Adam, daughters of me
Hold fast in hope and earnest belief
That he will come to bring relief

For everything I say is true
He will do this in love for me and you
