I was a gluttonous child when we first met
All lust, no trust, felt all hell bent
My head so hot I almost burnt a hole through the wall
Then I saw your eyes and I felt the light
And I faced the dark ready to put up a fight
In that bright beat in that voice of yours I heard the call
Take all my sins away
Leave me feeling clean today
Be there should I slip away
Start to slip away
Delusions of grandeur ran through my veins
Felt so pent up I'd fight the rain
I ran circles around myself in a downward spiral of despair
Then you came into my life, my house, my room
Lifted me up from the tomb
Doom dissipated; I could take a fresh breath of air
Take all my sins away
Leave me feeling clean today
Be there should I slip away
Start to slip away
You pulled me out from the pit, you took the hit, I felt sorrow
You brushed it off and said "This is a gift you can borrow"
How can I repay when every day is a treasure
I hope you don't mind if it takes forever
Take all my sins away
Leave me feeling clean today
Be there should I slip away
Be there if I start to slip away
