No matter how long it took it took me too long

No matter how hard I tried I still did you wrong

Oh the things that I did the wrongs they are many

Of course you do not need to forgive me of any

I lied or I cheated or I lusted or took

I know I did wrong by what it says in the book

I broke just one rule it was little and small

But now it’s the same as breaking them all

But it’s not one I’ve broken

I’ve broken so many

But just breaking one

Will take justice from any

I’m no longer perfect I’m doomed with the rest

I no longer can sing and dance with the best

I know what I did it was fun at the time

But now I have lost what was so very fine

You!…then you came… you came in my place

You sat in my chair and took my disgrace

You laid down your life, where mine should be laid

You took up my cost and with your own blood you paid

You made me the one I ought not to be

You opened the eyes that were blind but now see

You came back from the lost you came with new life

You came here to make me your be-love-ed wife
