I am not proud of' the fact that I've used his name in vain.
I ain't sat in a pew in a few Sundays
I don't always turn the other cheek
And I worked on the Sabbath last week
There's been a few things
And a few woman that have done more than just tempt me
My heart been filled with hate' greed' and envy.
But I believe that Jesus died to save souls like me

Cause I'm a sinner
That's just what I am
Sometimes the Devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees
Close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He is no quitter
Cause I am a sinner

If Heaven had a limit
On the number of commandments that you could break
Before they cast your soul away
Well there is no doubt where I'll be heading and I check out

Cause I'm a sinner
That's just what I am
Sometimes the Devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees
Close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He is no quitter
Cause I am a sinner

Yeah' I am a good guy
Most the time my heart is in the right place
But I have my days where I run a little low on faith'
so far from grace
That I loose my way

Cause I'm a sinner
That's just what I am
Sometimes the Devil can get the upper hand
But I hit my knees
Close my eyes and bow my head
And thank the good Lord that when it comes to forgiveness
He is no quitter
Cause I am a sinner
I'm a sinner
