Just An Old Sinner
It was in I in word and deed
I followed my own lust
You suffered and died the Price of Peace
Even I being evil you looked past the leper in me
The spotted ringstraked the one lost sheep
It was I in word and deed
In your full view nothing was hid
Even I being evil you looked past the leper in me
From stolen penny candy to the torturing grayfish
to king of the ant hill to drunkenness of endless filth
Blushing now for sin I committed then
It was I in word and deed
The lying raping to the hypocrite on the bus
In a word I thought I knew better
You suffered and died the Price of Peace
Even I being evil you looked past the leper in me
It was I in word and deed
Brawling stealing adulterous hurting killing tongue
Even I as I begun in word and deed
I followed my own lust
You suffered and died the Price of Peace
Even I being evil looked past the leper in me
Jesus is risen in deed
