Lyrics
I felt like I really had messed up
Torn up inside, but on the outside dressed up
Trying to put behind those things in my mind
But I know that it's time that I 'fessed up
Taking account of the things that I've done
Enjoyed what I've done, but fulfilled by none
And yes, of course, it wasn't by force
I made the choice. I was the one
They told me that prayer changes thangs
But tell me what do I do when things stay the same
Matter-a-fact, it seems like they're worse
Thought I put You first
It was like I was cursed
I was tired of the game
If You're gonna' help me, help me now
Drag me out, someway, somehow
That's how I felt. On my knees I knelt
Praying for help. I'll change. I vow
But silence filled the air
To the point it seemed You weren't even there
And if I'd complained, it would still be the same
Heartache and pain. But it doesn't mean that You're unfair
It was me. Yeah, I know it was me
Blind to it then, but now I see
And though it was painful and somewhat srainful
Yet, I'm thankful that You let it be
Beginning to end, I needed it all
Even when it felt like I was gonna' fall
And, I'm not mad. Matter-a-fact, I'm glad
'Cause there was good in the bad, through it all
Now, as I testify, I make a decree
Touch and agree, and say it with me
I won't bend to the devil ever again
Staying free from sin
'Cause He made me free
Torn up inside, but on the outside dressed up
Trying to put behind those things in my mind
But I know that it's time that I 'fessed up
Taking account of the things that I've done
Enjoyed what I've done, but fulfilled by none
And yes, of course, it wasn't by force
I made the choice. I was the one
They told me that prayer changes thangs
But tell me what do I do when things stay the same
Matter-a-fact, it seems like they're worse
Thought I put You first
It was like I was cursed
I was tired of the game
If You're gonna' help me, help me now
Drag me out, someway, somehow
That's how I felt. On my knees I knelt
Praying for help. I'll change. I vow
But silence filled the air
To the point it seemed You weren't even there
And if I'd complained, it would still be the same
Heartache and pain. But it doesn't mean that You're unfair
It was me. Yeah, I know it was me
Blind to it then, but now I see
And though it was painful and somewhat srainful
Yet, I'm thankful that You let it be
Beginning to end, I needed it all
Even when it felt like I was gonna' fall
And, I'm not mad. Matter-a-fact, I'm glad
'Cause there was good in the bad, through it all
Now, as I testify, I make a decree
Touch and agree, and say it with me
I won't bend to the devil ever again
Staying free from sin
'Cause He made me free
