Couplet 1

Dear Jesus
It’s been a minute since I called
Guess You already know the reasons
I’ve got a list a mile long
Of gone wrongs
Going off the deep end
I’ve been slipping up sideways
Running off the rails
Like a runaway freight train
All I know is my way
Has left me crying in the driveway

Refrain

I can’t do this on my own
God knows how much I’ve tried
I’m on my knees
Just hoping these words
Make it past the sky
Do You hear me
Do You know me
Can broken still be holy
I’m trying to get a message
To the man upstairs
Every saint started with a sinner’s prayer

Refrain modifié

Every saint started with a sinner’s prayer

Couplet 2

I’m sorry
Two words You ain’t heard
That much out of me these days
You forgive and I forget
How beautiful it is
Us talking like this
Oh I miss us talking like this

Refrain

I can’t do this on my own
God knows how much I’ve tried
I’m on my knees
Just hoping these words
Make it past the sky
Do You hear me
Do You know me
Can broken still be holy
I’m trying to get a message
To the man upstairs
Every saint started with a sinner’s prayer

Refrain modifié

Every saint started with a sinner’s prayer

Couplet 3

Dear Jesus
I’m glad you haven’t left
And I didn’t waste my breath
I know that You know
I meant every single word I said
Amen
