Virtue

Lord forgive me
I've fallen astray
Serpent swayed me
My innocence vanquished
Good and evil
Warring within
Won't you save me
Caught in the abyss

Would you make me righteous
Would you make me pure
Hear so many voices
How I long for yours
Would you give me wisdom
How I need your strength
To leave this prison
Gotta break away

Father, take these
Habitual ties
Can't erase these
Images bind
Trying again again stop, I just can't stop it
Powerless to my addiction, please
Won't you save me
Before it takes everything

Would you make me righteous
Would you make me pure
Hear so many voices
How I long for yours
Would you give me wisdom
How I need your strength
To leave this prison
Gotta break away

You know I'm sorry
For treading in the dark
I know I broke your heart a thousand times
Still Keep relapsing, miss my mark
I know it hurts you
Cause you see it's hurting me
I'm crying out to you tonight
I hear you whispering inside

I've made you righteous
I made you pure
Just keep on fighting
Freedom's those enduring
I'll never leave you
Washed you white as snow
Still purpose in virtue
You'll reap what you've sown

Oh, heaven on earth's when righteousness reigns
Sin enters in, opens hell and it's gates
Children of Adam, you're not fighting in vein
We're in this together, let the light lead the way
We're in this together, oh, good Lord, give us strength
