Verse 1

I'm not proud of the fact that I've used his name in vain

and I ain't set in a pew in a few Sundays

and I don't always turn the other cheek

and I worked on the Sabbath last week

and there's been a few things

and a few women that have done more than just tempt me

My hearts been filled with hate, greed and envy

But I believe Jesus died to save souls like me

Chorus

'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am

Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand

But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head

and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness

He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.

Verse 2

If heaven had a limit

On the number of commandments you could break

Before they just cast your soul away

Well then there's no doubt

Where I'll be headin' when I check out

Chorus

'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am

Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand

But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head

and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness

He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.

Bridge

Yeah I'm a good guy

Most the time my heart's in the right place

But I have my days

Where I run a little low on faith

So far from grace, that I lose my way

Chorus

'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am

Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand

But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head

and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness

He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.
