WICKED MAN

I traded my birthright for a meal
I didn’t know how to say what I feel
I’m sorry that I never let you in
I didn’t want you to see my sin

I gave it all up for the girl on the roof
Guess I forgot I’m not bulletproof
Covered my tracks with
Some innocent blood
Ignoring the rain I got swept in the flood

And now all that I know is I can’t let go
All that I know is I don’t know
How to make it right
How to find the light
When all it shows is what I am
A wicked man

I pulled off his coat and he still ran away
Made up a lie just to save some face
Denied him three times
Before the sun rose again
Looked in the eyes of my closest friend
Yes I looked in His eyes as He went to His end

And now all that I know is I can’t let go
All that I know is I don’t know
How to make it right
How to find the light
When all it shows is what I am
A wicked man

After the dawn I’m the first one to see
The face of the man who was slain for me
The life in His eyes that means I am set free
After the dawn He came straight to me
After it all He came back for me
He came back for me

And now all that I know is I can’t let go
All that I know is I don’t know
Why He made it right
Why He gave His life when He well knows
What I am
What I am
What I am
A wicked man

Who’d ever die for a wicked man
Who’d ever die for a wicked man
