1
Oh Lord, you know that I'm not one to bother you with little things
2
And you and I have never been too close
3
But we've always been on speakin' terms
4
I've watched you with doin' things
5
And tried to understand you more than most
6
No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to

26
It took a lot of love to die, for sinners such as I

And I guess that's why you've never given up on me
28
You understood when some denied you and even when they crucified you
