lyrics

could you pardon me brother?
as I stumble drunk from self
could you offer me your helping hand
to steady my regard?
cause you see my back is sore from bending
over the box that holds my sin
and my hands are chafed and bloodied
from all my rummaging

for when the number's one and all I am is me
I'll be looking for an excuse
to wash away this loneliness
and find my rest in You, my rest in You

could you pardon me, Father? I fall to the wages of sin
could you offer me Your holy hand
with a bag of redemption?
I've been long since gone from this place I know
it's hidden within my breast
but lately I can't seem to shake
this craving I have for it

for when the number's one and all I am is me
I'll be looking for an excuse
to wash away my loneliness, and find my rest in you
and when my back is turned on everything
and everyone I knew
I'll be needing You Father, to bring me back to you
me back to you

and when my back is turned on everything
and everyone I knew
I'll be needing You Father, to bring me back to you
and when the sole's worn from these walking shoes
and my path's been misconstrued
I'll be needing You Father
to find my rest in you
my rest in you
