Contrition (feat. Simone)
You told me that (told me yeah)
I should review my conscience on the daily
I'm trying yeah (trying yeah)
But don't wanna express my sorrow
Without perfect contrition for my shortcomings
Whoever loses his life for the sake of the Lord will find it
So will you die to yourself?
Is it Heaven or hell?
Why are we telling our young these things
When we know we're lying?
Gaining the world
Diamonds and pearls
Forfeit themselves
Truth without true charity
Is vanity in itself
If I say I love you but I don't will your salvation
Then how will you tell?
And if I get the job done by means of a lie
What does it look like from the sky?
Tears from Heavens eyes
I don't mean to be scrupulous
But these new ways don't feel too
Good for us
I need some saving grace
Lest I fall into old ways
And pass responsibility
Oh no
Die to self subdue my passions
These are my intentions
Stemming from my souls desire
To be intimate
Intimate
Its at the edge of my fingertips
Intimate
So why do I sin for this?
You told me that (told me yeah)
I should review my conscience on the daily
I'm trying yeah (trying yeah)
But don't wanna express my sorrow
Without perfect contrition for my shortcomings
And if your name is something
To which I commit detraction
How will I amend my actions?
'Cause in reality it's me who's slacking
And if you need me I'll be here
Right here regardless of the things that happen
Gold is tested in the flame
And acceptable men in the midst of humiliation
With the elect He'll write your name
If when changes humble you
You're patient
Take my freedom
Take my wisdom
Take my all
Just ensure that I can hear you when you call
Don't leave me in this valley of tears
'Cause I just need you near
And whatever the way the tree leans is where it falls
So I pray the winds are not too strong
The days in which we choose and will the wrong
Bring me where I belong
You told me that (told me yeah)
I should review my conscience on the daily
I'm trying yeah (trying yeah)
But don't wanna express my sorrow
Without perfect contrition for my shortcomings
Will you be the salt of the Earth?
Will you recognise your infinite worth?
From dust we came to dust we shall return
Will we ever learn?
With love let my heart burn
Will you be the salt of the Earth?
Will you recognise your infinite worth?
From dust we came to dust we shall return
Will we ever learn?
With love let my heart burn
And true contrition
I should review my conscience on the daily
I'm trying yeah (trying yeah)
But don't wanna express my sorrow
Without perfect contrition for my shortcomings
Whoever loses his life for the sake of the Lord will find it
So will you die to yourself?
Is it Heaven or hell?
Why are we telling our young these things
When we know we're lying?

Will you be the salt of the Earth?
Will you recognise your infinite worth?
From dust we came to dust we shall return
Will we ever learn?
With love let my heart burn
And true contrition
