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.
