I should be paying my dues;
I’m far from living like You.
I try but I’m only human,
A constant state of improving.
But I feel the weight
Lift from my plate.
Chorus
I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,
All the pain that I bore for so long.
Justice was holding the cards,
And mercy seemed so far.
Then you stepped in between me and my fate,
Took a pen to the charges I should pay.
Right on the dotted line,
You signed your name over mine.
I owe You all of my soul; now
I owe You every moment.
Whatever I do won’t measure.,
I’m eternally indebted to You,
But all You want is my broken heart.
Chorus
I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,
All the pain that I bore for so long.
Justice was holding the cards,
And mercy seemed so far.
Then you stepped in between me and my fate,
Took a pen to the charges I should pay.
Right on the dotted line,
You signed your name over mine.
Chorus
I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,
All the pain that I bore for so long.
Justice was holding the cards,
And mercy seemed so far.
Then you stepped in between me and my fate,
Took a pen to the charges I should pay.
Right on the dotted line,
You signed your name over mine.
