I wish that I could say I am a perfect man 
I wish sometimes that I would not be who I am 
One day I decided I would think on this, 
Not knowing if faith and pain could co-exist: 

Could I ever on my own conceive 
Of someone I did not know, but I need? 
I must be made to be at peace and communion 
'Cause somehow I am full aware that I've fallen 

I find through every ounce of pain I feel 
That my mind cannot deny that God is real 

The inconsistency of what I say I should be 
Compared to what I am in actuallity 
Leaves me in conclusion that I know the way 
Though I am unable to always obey 

Nothing in this world has satisfied 
My soul's hunger for a deeper life 
The weight of my misdeeds were crushing, blinding me 
I still live with pain inside but now I see 

The peices of my life are scattered on the floor 
I stared at them 'til I could take no more 
I do not deserve to be set free 
Forgiveness is what I despereately need 

If it wasn't for the perfect blood was shed 
Would I not be dead inside but I live instead 
I know my faith's still here 
Believe through all my tears
