[Verse 1]
Dear Jesus, it's been a long, long time
Been runnin' 'round, rackin' my brain
On why I've wasted life lookin' for freedom
I tried every high, I thought I saw the light
But I been seein' blind
[Chorus]
Would You come into my heart?
Teach me how to live
I'm tired of livin' like a dead man
Don't You think You could forgive?
All the bad things that I've done
Are more than I can bear
Lord, please hear this sinner's prayer
[Verse 2]
Well, dear Jesus, can You hear me now?
I never thought rock bottom would be
So far down; I took the bait of the devil
Hopped on a wrong-way train, goin' hell-bound in a hurry
'Til You called my name
[Chorus]
Would You come into my heart?
Teach me how to live
I'm tired of livin' like a dead man
Don't You think You could forgive?
All the bad things that I've done
Are more than I can bear
Oh, Lord, please hear this sinner's prayer
[Bridge]
Take me home, take me home
I've heard about them backroad streets of gold
Take me home, oh, take me home
To the motherland where the angels roam
[Chorus]
Would You come into my heart?
Teach me how to live
I'm tired of livin' like a dead man
Don't You think You could forgive?
All the bad things that I've done
Are more than I can bear
Yes, Lord, please hear this sinner's prayer
Thank You, Lord, for the sinner's prayer
