Damage Done Lyrics
Words and music by Shaun Groves
Yesterday Once again I fell down and broke a friend Words were said Out of place I hope that it's not too late To right this wrong Cause I was wrong
Chorus: I struck the match I burned the bridge I'm to blame for all of it I lost your trust When I drew my sword This distance is my just reward Can I undo The damage done Couldn't sleep Part of me Was crying out from hurting you
So afraid You would say There is nothing I can do To right this wrong I was wrong
(CHORUS)
Listen friend I must confess You deserved more I gave you less It tears me up That I let you down I'm sorry I'm sorry
Story Behind The Song: In Matthew Jesus reminds us of the greatest barrier to worship - sin. He commands us to make things right with one another, ask forgiveness and make amends before we offer him our worship. Worship from a sinful heart is like a stench to God not the fragrant offering we desire it to be. This song lays bare my own desire to be forgiven by man so that I can be obedient to God. (Psalm 66:18, Matthew 5:23-24)
