EVERY TIME I FALL

HOW HARD IS MY HEART

TO KNOW THE TRUTH

AND, EVERY DAY, TO TURN FROM YOU

THE THINGS I HATE ARE THE THINGS I DO

I WANT TO SERVE YOU, FATHER, BUT I NEED TO BE NEW

EVERY TIME I FALL, THE SHAME IS ON YOU, ON YOU

EVERY SINFUL THOUGHT, THE GUILT FELL ON YOU, ON YOU

THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT MY PEACE FELL ON YOU

TEACH ME TO REND MY HEART

INSTEAD OF OUTER THINGS

I COULD GIVE UP ALL THAT I HAVE AND STILL NOT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS

THAT MY SINS OF SCARLET ARE NOT MY OWN

YOU TOOK THEM UPON YOUR BODY

TO SEE ME WHITE AS SNOW

I’VE BEEN BLINDED BY THE LIE THAT THE PAIN OF MY SIN WAS ONLY MINE

NOW I’M HUMBLED BY THE TRUTH THAT ALL OF MY SHAME

ALL OF MY SORROW; ALL MY WEAKNESS

MY DEATH FELL ON YOU
