Story Behind the Song
This song was more of a personal prayer than a song. It was written while I was on the road. The version here on mp3.com is from a live concert.
Lyrics
I'm not a perfect man, i've made mistakes along the way.
and when i think of the past, my tears they fall like rain.
God knows that i've tried, and all to often i have failed to be the man He'd have me be, live the life he'd have me live, and stop living for myself.
Chorus:
i'm not a perfect man
i've made mistakes
i've felt the weight of sin tearing at my soul and killing me within
Lord take away these chains, and set this captive free
i offer You my life, i offer You my soul,
let Your spirit live in me.
i know i'm not alone, we all fail in different ways.
we've all sinned in the past, and just might again some day.
but if we give our life to Jesus, and turn away from sin, by God's grace we'll be forgiven, so we might live again.
