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!
