You said, “go and sin no more …”
Though my eyes could not meet Yours 
I started running the third time the rooster crowed

You threw a party just for me 
Though I squandered everything 
I was blinded in the middle of the road

Climbed up in a tree to see You 
Swallowed by the sea to flee You 
Sold You for a little silver and a kiss

Killed a man to love his woman 
Burned a bridge back to Your garden 
Hung beside You while you took Your final breath

You’ve been loving me since time began 
You’re behind my every second chance

I love You 
I’m trying to 
Love You more 
I’m ready 
Please help me 
Love You more

I keep thinking there’s a limit 
Sure I must be getting near it 
When I’ve used up every pardon and regret

But You promise there is freedom 
Gathered up the broken pieces 
Scattered them as far as East is from the West

You’ve been loving me since time began 
You’re behind my every second chance

I love You 
I’m trying to 
Love You more 
I’m ready 
Please help me 
Love You more

With all the sand that fills the hourglass 
With every breath between my first and last

I love You 
I’m trying to 
Love You more 
I’m ready 
Please help me 
Love You more
