Is it fair to say I was lured away?
By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then
Or fairer still, my own free will
Is the better one to blame
For this familiar mess I've made again
So I would understand, if you were out of patience
And I would understand, if I was out of chances
(Chorus)
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new
The distance left between East and West
Is how far You would go to forget the debt I owe
And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me
Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand
So I would understand, if you would make me pay
I would understand, lying in the bed I made again
(Chorus)
Up comes the sun on every one of us
Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew your name
