Exchanging My Vice For Jesus Christ

I Am shame In my vice Hate the acclaim Help me Jesus Christ And take away this pain My wounds are covered in ice Sutures being applied in vain My Life came The world's game I rolled the dice A failed bloody aim The endless merchandise Craving a piece of the slice The illusion's paradise No thought of the morrow Searching for tonight's hook up Wallowing in prison's sorrow Consuming another bitter cup Hi Act sly Crossed my heart Telling a lie Devil piercing dart Broken sweetheart Lost the chance to say good-bye Guilt amplify, intensify My boss I made cry Called the Red Cross Watched him bleed and die He was placed on the cross With two sinful men across Not discerning the reason why Seeing the agony in his eye Hate this shame Wanting the vice Take away the pain Without paying the price Higher than a mountain Surviving in the fast lane Unsatisfying well's fountain Being the number one in the game Tired of the deceit Hoping for a new name Rundown, ruin, and defame Building the faith to cross the street Recall the crucify Needing to detoxify I can't take my sins anymore The Savior is knocking at the door I hate my vice A new battle cry Time to go testify About the fool's paradise I thank thee for your sacrifice And giving me your living bread slice The love on the cross and paying the price All hail to the Mighty Lord God Jesus Christ
