Ohh yeah

Jesus, I must confess

That in all my loneliness

I've forsaken and I've sinned

Leaving fragments of a man so broken

I could tell you what I've done

Or should I tell you where I went wrong

Well the more that I start to play yeah

My deceitful, evil ways

Keep on growing stronger by the day

Oh lord have mercy on my soul

For I have walked a sinful road

So I'm gonna get down on my knees

Beg forgiveness to help set me free

Lord have mercy on me, please

Mother Mary full of grace

In my weakness, I've lost faith

I've been careless, and I have been warned

And the devil inside me is torn

God bless the men that I have scorned

Oh lord have mercy on my soul

For I have walked the sinful road

So I'm gonna get down on my knees

Beg forgiveness to help set me free

Lord have mercy on me, please

Woah, woaa yeah yeah

Woa yeah yeah oh oh

Oh-oh yeah yeah yeah, ohh

So don't let me fool around no more

Send your angels down to guide me through that door

Well I've gone and confessed my regrets

And I pray I'm not held in contempt

I'm so lost, and I need you to help me repent

Oh lord have mercy on my soul

Oh I'm begging, I'm pleading, I'm needing

I want you to know yeah

So I'm down upon my knees

Oh lord, I need forgiveness

I need forgiveness from you
