Change My Ways

I got a Bible

On my desk with

No highlights or creases

All pages are still crisp

I had this idea

Miss independent

That's who I am

Just watch me excel, well

I'm falling fast

Too fast to catch myself

Miss independent

Didn't age too well, well

I've been feeding the flesh

I've been living in sin

My mouth's been running wild

And I've been acting like a wild child

So, I say this prayer:

"God, I know you're there

I ain't been playing fair

And I've only been praying when I need your help

Oh, I'm ready to change

Ready to clean my ways

Ready to praise your name

And start living for my saving grace"

I got a six-string

Just trying to sing a melody

Most are singing about fantasies

And the things that didn't even happen to me

I've got about two songs

About the good Lord

And I've forgot about most of the words

And I ain't even doing godly work

So, I say this prayer

"God, I know you're there

I ain't been playing fair

And I've only been praying when I need your help

Oh, I'm ready to change

Ready to clean my ways

Ready to praise your name

And start living for my saving grace"

I'll sing your praise

For my all days

I finally change, Lord

Make your ways my ways

I'll sing your praise

For my all days

I'll finally change, Lord

Make your ways my ways

I've got a Bible in my hands

With faded pages

And highlighted paragraphs
