O Lord



If I am wrong Lord;
 I won't put up a fight
 But gently nudge me Lord
 To the left or the right
 And I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
 And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord

 Help me to judge Lord
 This world that I see
 Without condemnation Lord
‘Less I'm condemning me
 And I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
 And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord

 I am a man Lord
 Like the smoke of a fire
 I have no delusions Lord
 My element won't expire
 So I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
 And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord
