Sinned
This melody this melody
Flows through me so heavily
With strengths that brings me to my knees
Oh lord please
Bring me some understanding
Of which my faith can find a clear landing
Punish me father for I have sinned
I have stood at the feet of Jesus, and did not kiss them
I have turned my back on the father, the son and the holy ghost
and it is you that plead to the most
Punish me father for I have sinned
I have given myself to a man that did not love me
I gave birth to a bastard son
O'lord how I have gambled and not won
Punish me father for I have sinned
