Redemption
i have slept with many
laid down with them all
i’ve come running breathless
whenever they would call
placed myself beneath them
above them and beside
thrown my head back in laughter
swallowing their pride
i have knelt, i have bent
i have sprawled, i have spread
upon many floors, upon walls
upon many a bed
i have deceived and seduced
i have cheated and lied
my fleshly desires
have not been denied
but now here before You
i scream out Your name
oh God! please have mercy
and take up my shame
i am guilty, regretful
i am sorry, hell-bent
my Lord, hear my words
in my heart...i repent
laid down with them all
i’ve come running breathless
whenever they would call
placed myself beneath them
above them and beside
thrown my head back in laughter
swallowing their pride
i have knelt, i have bent
i have sprawled, i have spread
upon many floors, upon walls
upon many a bed
i have deceived and seduced
i have cheated and lied
my fleshly desires
have not been denied
but now here before You
i scream out Your name
oh God! please have mercy
and take up my shame
i am guilty, regretful
i am sorry, hell-bent
my Lord, hear my words
in my heart...i repent
