Lyrics
Why do I keep looking back
Lifting up what's in my past
Making penance for the offence
You have thrown away
And to make the matter worse,
I'm adding to my daily curse
Submitting to a master
From the days I was a slave!
Always sin gets the best of me,
And You ask nothing less of me
Than to be holy
I want to be holy
And it breaks my heart in two
When I turn my back on You
I just want to be holy.
I close my eyes go back in time
Be there when You heal the blind
Put my arm in Yours and we walk
On the crashing sea!
Later on in that same year
You see me, I'm gripped with fear
Shake my head, "Don't know that man!
"Hang Him on the tree!"
Always sin gets the best of me
And You ask nothing less of me
Than to be holy
I want to be holy
And it breaks my heart in two
When I turn my back on You
I just want to be holy.
