We're supposed to say we're sinners
But we don't like that word
It casts a shadow over us
It beats us down
It exposes us
We're supposed revel in God's Grace
But we can't believe it's real
It covers us with love
It lifts us up
It heals us
We're supposed to reach out in love to all
But we have to qualify that
It works for many
It fails for some
It excludes us
Sometimes the sin is just too damn much for us, no matter what we say we believe
And we search The Word to justify ourselves
Instead of seeking The Word to correct ourselves
And we think we speak the truth
When The Truth is cast aside
We believe love should cost us nothing
But love costs us everything
And we should spend it all
With a smile on our face
And tears in our eyes
