My crime was to believe that I could ever be forgiven
I know my flesh is complicit, I am guilty and ashamed
I asked my God to judge me immediately, for all I've done
Looked at me with disgust, contempt upon hearing my name
For I'd seemingly had disdain towards a real faith in him
As I possessed an absolute faith in my lack of worth
My fears and wickedness can never be tamed
By any act of my own hand, I am just a man
Willing to be judged guilty because I am
But for me to accept forgiveness
For my many crimes
Requires understanding
Of all that I've done
