Album: AT ALL COST | Song lyrics to: BREAKING THE LAW
"BREAKING THE LAW"
Verse 1:
Held my head high and unobserving
Of your love I’ve been undeserving
Took for granted the sweet pearl of you
I can’t believe the pain I put you through
Verse 2:
Didn’t give up on this helpless case
Memory of bad you’d totally erase
Yet I kept testing you for no reason
My behavior was serious treason
Chorus:
Before God and you I plead here
I beg your mercy ‘cause I just don’t deserve anything
I tried to take more than was given
My selfish way to the altar I bring
Verse 3:
I plead guilty of breaking the law
The Law of Love that governs us all
Don’t want to justify this apple that I ate
Just want to change I hope it’s not too late
Verse 4:
Life’s so full of crazy emotions
Mess with your head and give all kind of notions
Don’t want to be driven by these things
Just want only Jesus to be pulling my strings
Repeat Chorus:
Verse 5:
I pledge to love Jesus first
Love him in you, this is for what I thirst
You are his most precious gift to me
To be by your side is my desperate plea.
