I wanted to taste life
I ran out on my own and found no place to hide
So come and catch me
So unsure of myself and if choices are free
Then why aren't they mine anymore
My sin goes before me closing doors
And the day to day has me torn
Between right and wrong
Where do I belong
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
I go down, I fall at Your feet
Asking for You to save me
Only to save me
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
Surely I've failed You
I've failed to go beyond grace
And seek after truth
Not wanting Your mercy
Try to purchase a pardon
My deeds, my currency
[instrumental]
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
I go down, I fall at Your feet
Asking for You to save me
Only to save me
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
I ran out on my own and found no place to hide
So come and catch me
So unsure of myself and if choices are free
Then why aren't they mine anymore
My sin goes before me closing doors
And the day to day has me torn
Between right and wrong
Where do I belong
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
I go down, I fall at Your feet
Asking for You to save me
Only to save me
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
Surely I've failed You
I've failed to go beyond grace
And seek after truth
Not wanting Your mercy
Try to purchase a pardon
My deeds, my currency
[instrumental]
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
I go down, I fall at Your feet
Asking for You to save me
Only to save me
A broken and contrite heart
Oh Lord, You will receive
