Over Used Sin
Have you ever committed a sin
Again and again and again
Where it becomes a part of who you are
Scar upon scar upon scar
You started out asking forgiveness
Feeling sorry like nobody's business
Until it knocked on your door once again
And you let it come waltzing back in
Hating the time that you give it
Wondering why you can't quit it
You battle it so many times
Is this fast forward or is it rewind
Like a comfortable recliner set up in the den
You start to relax around the same sin
Thank goodness there's no film at six
Showing the shame of this over used sin
Like a cancer that clings to the bone
A sin that won't leave you alone
Wretched man that I am
Who can save me from this over used sin
Thanks be to God, who delivers me
Through Jesus Christ who sets me free
I'm so thankful when God the Father looks at me He sees me purely cleansed by the blood of Christ, wretched man that I am!
