Lyrics
The masses are ready to shout
They are expressing their doubts
Why don't they see my repentance
When I was serving my sentence
I was down the wrong road before
I was locked behind the iron door
But i've turned from my wicked ways
A heavy price I sure did pay
I know God has mercy on me
I wish other people would see
I'm trying to make amends
I'm really sorry for my sins
I know that I stole many times
I served my sentence for the crime
I put myself through a mess
But I sought God's forgiveness
I'm sorry about my past
I thought I was having a blast
Till the police busted me
Steel bars I sure did see
I'm not a bad person
in spite of the crimes i've done
I don't need to hear you yell
When I wannna improve myself
Today i've been set free
I ask that you don't shun me
I know I have crossed the line
Forgiving me is divine
Don't try to put me through shame
I know I played some deadly games
I know I told many lies
I know I made lots of people cry
Lord im sorry for ther sins i've done
Lord i'm sorry I thought it was fun
Lord help me on my new path
Lord protect me from the people's wrath
My life of crime has ended
I need to be forgiven
I realize I was wrong
The bitterness needs to be gone
