I'M Not Perfect But I Am Forgiven
I'M NOT PERFECT BUT I AM FORGIVEN
Oh, Lord there's many, many, many things that I've driven;
Angry, hopelessness, self-righteousness, given;
Sin ran through my blood as I breath the air of hell;
As I listened to the third father, the father of lies, Satan;
The use to be an Arch angel Lucifer;
Until Michael by God's orders kicked him out the door;
Come falling, he's falling
In sin and shame I'm dawning, I'm calling, I too am falling;
But that, that remains is;
All the sins I've committed;
I've been forgiven;
For I have repented;
And...
I'm not perfect but I am forgiven
Oh, Lord I don't need a shoulder to cry on;
Father God you leant me a body to die on;
Jesus hung on the cross for me;
Long, long, long ago on that tree;
And I so sorry for that, that I've done;
Father God, I thank you always for your saving Son;
And I know His works are never done;
In sin and shame I'm dawning, I'm calling, I too am falling;
But that, that remains is;
All the sins I've committed;
I've been forgiven;
For I have repented;
And...
I'm not perfect but I am forgiven
Care not if the world believes or even forgives me;
For you see no MAN has a heaven or hell to place me;
God please forgive me for those sins that run..
Through the cord, the marrow, spirit, soul body;
I am so, so, so, very gladly, glad....
They can only put me in the grave;
I've repented sincerely and turned around;
Walk these streets with my head up high, world...
I'm not perfect but I am forgiven
I'm not perfect but I'm forgiven;
Matters not if you believe it, brother, sister...
I'M NOT PERFECT BUT I AM FORGIVEN
AMEN
