Oh Jesus I'm tryin' I'm tryin' but fallin' the life
That I'm livin' sometimes feels like dyin'
Oh Jesus save me I feel like my heart is cavin' in
I cry for mercy I'm stumbling and fallin'

Chorus
You forgive me but then I return to my sin
I need forgiveness again

Oh Jesus it's useless for me to try harder
I pray and I promise but I just fall farther
All of my efforts just add up to nothing in the end
This frustration brings me back to you again

Aren't you the strangest friend there is?
They were yellin' "Crucify" you said "Forgive"
When he was drivin' in the nails
You looked and saw someone you'd die to love
And I can't understand why this hammer's in my hand
