Verse 1
I'm not proud of the fact that I've used his name in vain
and I ain't set 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 hearts been filled with hate, greed and envy
But I believe Jesus died to save souls like me
Chorus
'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.
Verse 2
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
Chorus
'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.
Bridge
Yeah I'm a good guy
Most 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
Chorus
'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.
