Because Of My Sin

Because Of My Sin

© M. Scott Worthington - 7/17/04

It's because of my sin
I'm not gettin' in
To heaven

Because of my sin
I'm gettin' farther away
From You

It's because my heart
Is not set to follow Your ways
Oh Lord

Because of my sin
It's gettin' harder and harder
To do

Because of my sin
I'm diggin' deeper and deeper
The hole I'm gonna crawl in

Deeper and darker
Guilt and shame are settling in
I can only focus on the things that I have done
That have made me who I am
That have hardened in my heart
That have taken all I have
That have settled in my mind
That consume my very soul
And have taken all my strength
To try to overcome
And I know it's something I can't even do

Because of my sin
I'm all alone
Without You

It's because of my sin
That You have entered in
You have made the sacrifice
Because of my sin
I'm turning back again to see
You have paid the ultimate price

It's because of my sin
That You gave Jesus to the world
To die
And to be raised again
To reign from on high
