[Intro ]
||: Am | Am7/G | D7/F# | Am6/F :||
[Verso 1]
Am E
Who am I to point a finger?
G F
Filthy putrid heart of mud
Am E
My eyes cast shadows on what isn't my preference
G D
While I'm still living equally in unrepentance
[Pré-Refrão]
F G
And I go on sinning in spite of God's grace
F F
And I am the Roman soldier spitting in His face
[Refrão]
Am
And the world says I should pump myself up
Am7/G
But if that's true, what more is God's love
D7/F#
Than a badge I wear to show myself off;
Am6/F
"Look at me, I'm more than enough"?
Am
And I hate the smell of my rotten actions
Am7/G
And my self affirming bold distractions
D7/F#
From my sin and from my stench
Am6/F
While before His Holiness I'm just a wretch
Am Am7/G
Whoah, whoah, whoah
D7/F# Am6/F
I'm just a wretch
[Verso 2]

So I come to Him in reverence
G F
For He loves a whore like me
Am E
I'm only allowed in His presence
G D
Oh cos Jesus' blood has set my burden free
[Pré-Refrão]

And I go on sinning in spite of God's grace

And I am the Roman soldier spitting in His face
