I lay in a bed of wine and grain Adorned with rings of gold but still ashamed I've shut the door and played the whore You waited as you wore a crown of thorns I've filled myself with sorrow and with pain I've chased other gods, abused your name I've made myself an orphan on the run You bought me with the price of your own blood Please don't make me a wilderness Please don't make me a dry parched land Forgive me father, for I have sinned Show me how to love again Show me how to love you again I've caved at the sight of fear of man I've tried to follow my own plan Everywhere I turn, ashamed again You keep saying child I died for this Please don't make me a wilderness Please don't make me a dry parched land Forgive me father, for I have sinned Show me how to love again Show me how to love you again I promise you that if I had the chance I would do the same thing all again I'd be beaten, mocked, and nailed up to a cross To prove to you, you can't out run my love Please don't make me a wilderness Please don't make me a dry parched land Forgive me father, for I have sinned Show me how to love again Show me how to love you again
