Using the blues to take responsibility for my sins.
A sermon where my pastor said the oft-repeated line, "Christ died for your sins." I simply personalized that statement. A blues format seemed the appropriate vehicle to make the statement.
(Lead intro)
I'll take my share of the blame
And I know
My life will never be the same
I was such a selfish man
All wrapped up in my pride
I was never, never satisfied
As time went on and on
Still I kept doin' wrong
On and on and on it went
I caused You such misery
But You kept on lovin' me
All the way to Calvary
(Lead)
As time went on and on
Still I kept doin' wrong
On and on and on it went
I caused You such misery
But You kept on lovin' me
All the way to Calvary
I can't change it
No, I can't change the past
But now I know
I'm finally free at last
On that tree of shame
You posted my bail
It was I who drove the nail
I drove the nail
Yes, it was me Lord
