Confess

Chorus 1

Holy God, I am flawed

Been a fraud, broken laws

I wanna confess, confess

I caused pain, made false claims

Spoke your name in vain

And I want to be honest, honest

And what’s craziest of all is

I didn’t mean to hate or cause heartache

I was doing my best

But I was blind, lost the light

And only I can make that right

I wanna confess, confess

Verse 1

Who am I without shame?

Felt stuck and so I blamed

Everyone I know for my pain

Guess that’s how we were taught

Don’t give no one a shot

Keep judging every thought, yeah

This culture’s got us caught in

The same shit, same fight

Blocked from the same light

There’s one crime: Division

Where vision goes to die

Pre-Chorus 1

I'ma live I'ma trust

I'ma learn ‘cause I must

On and on and on

When I breathe into me, I can see that I’m free

On and on and on

I have lied, I’m no saint

I will hurt and forgive

On and on and on

‘Cause to love is to grieve all the things we could be

On and on and on

Chorus 2

Holy God, I am flawed

I been a fraud, broken laws

I wanna confess, confess

I caused pain, made false claims

Spoke your name in vain

And I want to be honest, honest

And what’s craziest of all is

I didn’t mean to hate or cause heartache

I was doing my best

But I was blind, lost the light

And only I can make that right

I wanna confess, confess

Verse 2

Everyone makes mistakes, yeah

Hearts have a price to pay

But no shadow goes to waste

There are no errors in the game

I know that I am change

I give myself the grace

I love for love’s own sake

Pre-Chorus 2

I have lied, I’m no saint

I will hurt and forgive

On and on and on

‘Cause to love is to grieve all the things we could be

On and on and on

Chorus 3

Holy God, I am flawed

I been a fraud, broken laws

I wanna confess, confess

I caused pain, made false claims

Spoke your name in vain

And I want to be honest, honest

And what’s craziest of all is

I didn’t mean to hate or cause heartache

I was doing my best

But I was blind, lost the light

And only I can make that right

I wanna confess, confess

Outro

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Where there is hatred, let me sow love

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

Oh Divine Master

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

In pardoning that we are pardoned, and

In dying that we are born to eternal life.
