Believer's Lament Lyrics

Although my sins be as scarlet

They shall be white as snow

Though they be red as crimson

They shall be as wool

What can wash away my sin?

What can make me whole again?

Please save me from myself

With the blood you shed for me

Here's my heart, Lord. It's wicked as can be

Here's my soul, Lord. My soul is yours

Burn away this sinful flesh of mine

And make me your child of God forever

In this world I walk alone

Thinking about my fears and failures

Too afraid to leave my shell

In fear of failing again

I know that I'm a sinful man

I ask for your forgiveness

I want to trust you and follow you

Even though I'll fail you time and time agan

The world's a scary place, for those who love you, Lord

They'll crucify me just as they had crucified you

But if I do not spread the Good News

They will never be saved
