I come to you in an earnest prayer
In humbled attire and deed
A righteous man in our world is rare
As our sins trounce on what we believe
Though you are God with the right to command
We have forgotten all of your words, we have forgotten all of your words
So our rebellious shame pollutes the land
Lord, can we ever learn?
Lord can we ever learn?
Lord, can we ever learn?
Lord, can we ever learn that you are just and true
And always quick to forgive, forgive
But but still we choose to stray away
That it's your mercy that has allowed us to live
As you always grant us another day, another day
So again, we come asking you to spare us, spare us, spare us, spare us
From your wrath that was surely earned
How we don't ever seem to ever live in fear of
The day the final page is turned
