I'm not proud of the fact that I've used His name in vain
And I ain't sat in a pew in a few Sundays
And I don't always turn the other cheek
And I worked on the Sabbath last week
And there's been a few things
And a few women that have done more than just tempt me
My heart's been filled with hate, greed and envy
But I believe Jesus died to save souls like me
'Cause I'm a sinner, that's just what I am
Sometimes the devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees, close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He's no quitter 'cause I'm a sinner
If heaven had a limit
On the number of commandments you could break
Before they just cast your soul away
Well then there's no doubt
Where I'll be headin' when I check out
'Cause I'm a sinner, that's just what I am
Sometimes the devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees, close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He's no quitter 'cause I'm a sinner
Yeah I'm a good guy
Most of the time my heart's in the right place
But I have my days where I run a little low on faith
So far from grace that I lose my way
'Cause I'm a sinner, that's just what I am
Sometimes the devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees, close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He's no quitter 'cause I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner
