So tempting is this place we live.
We learn to seek to gain, not give,
And the images surrounding us are so indicative.
Let me confess, and beg you to forgive.

Remember when you heard me say
I had come home to your paths to stay?
Well, I've fallen down a long, long way.
Let me confess to you, today.

Let me confess: I've taken refuge in the ease of sin.
Let me confess: I've hurt you and I'm sure I will again.
In my foolishness I've earned a debt that I cannot repay,
And there's nothing I can say, let me confess.

I saw the lines yet still I crossed,
But I've ended up alone and lost.
Yes, I've traveled down a wrong, wrong, long, long way.
Let me confess, and start anew today.

Let me confess: the burden of my guilt so long to bear;
Let me confess: I've sometimes almost even ceased to care.
In my selfishness I've lived a life you should by right forsake,
And there's no excuse to make, let me confess.

Let me confess: I've taken refuge in the ease of sin.
Let me confess: I've hurt you and I'm sure I will again.
In my foolishness I've earned a debt that I cannot repay,
But with you there is a way; let me confess.

In my foolishness I've earned a debt that I cannot repay,
But with you there is a way; let me confess.
