A Sinner's Prayer - James Intveld

Before I die I wanna tell the Lord I love him

Before I go I need to have some peace of mind

I’m gonna pray that I may be with all the others

In that blessed eternal kingdom in the sky

I’ve lived a life of both hatred and frustration

But never proud of all the bad names that I’ve earned

And though I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused my brothers

I don’t expect any love here in return

For a sinner am I and if I must die

Lord please have sympathy on me

For when it’s my time if you’d be so kind

To make room in heaven for me

I’ve never been one to walk the straight and narrow

I’ve cause despair to so many that I’ve known

But if you find it your heart to please forgive me

I’ll be so thankful just to be a chosen one

For a sinner am I and if I must die

Lord please have sympathy on me

For when it’s my time if you’d be so kind

To make room in heaven for me

I’m gonna get down on my knees and pray forgiveness

I’m gonna sing joyful praises to my Lord

And when I leave this broken shell to meet my maker

Then take my soul up above to heaven’s door

For a sinner am I and if I must die

Lord please have sympathy on me

For when it’s my time if you’d be so kind

To make room in heaven for me
