I wanted to taste life, I ran out on my own and found no place to hide So come and catch me, so unsure of myself and if choices are free Then why aren't they mine anymore, my sin goes before me closing doors And the day to day has me torn between right and wrong Where do I belong A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive I go down, I fall at Your feet asking for You to save me Only to save me A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive
Surely I've failed You I've failed to go beyond grace and seek after truth Not wanting Your mercy Try to purchase a pardon--my deeds my currency
[instrumental]
A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive I go down, I fall at Your feet asking for You to save me Only to save me A broken and contrite heart oh Lord You will receive
