Well I am weak
And I am small.
I have sinned,
Transgressed your law.
And in my agony,
I feel such shame
When I think
Of all your pain.
Well some people tell me faith is all I need,
It's like I just stop sinning, when I'm on my knees.
But when reality hits, I know, it's Him I hurt.
Cause every word, every thought,
Hurts His Church.
The Church is you and the Church is me,
But this sacrament will set you free,
So every week I'm on my knees inside a little room
Just a begging for His mercy, trying to heal His wounds.
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name.
In this sacrament,
Where you take my shame.
In this sacrament,
Where you heal my pain.
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name, yeah.
Because you gave
The power to men
To bind and loose,
To forgive sins.
When you came,
And breathed on them,
And you charged them,
To forgive sins.
Peter and the others in a crowded room,
When Jesus busted in just like the empty tomb.
He stood in their midst and He breathed on them,
Giving them the power to forgive all sins.
This power's passed down to priests today.
So don't be afraid to walk in and say:
"Oh, Jesus forgive me in this time of sin,
Please heal me, save me, make me whole again."
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name.
In this sacrament,
Where you take my shame.
In this sacrament,
Where you heal my pain.
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name, yeah.
I must confess,
For all the times I've sinned against you.
I must confess, oh lord.
I must confess,
For all the times I've sinned against you.
I must confess...
"O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
And I detest all my sins,
Because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;
But most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
To confess my sins, to do penance, and sin no more."
Yeah, I must confess!
I must confess!
Yeah, I must confess!
I must confess!
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name.
In this sacrament,
Where you take my shame.
In this sacrament,
Where you heal my pain.
In this sacrament,
Where you call my name, yeah.
