Penance
In
his heart still lived the shame
Of
all the wrong he'd been
Another wayward child of God
All
covered up with sin
A
witness to the darkness
Found in the soul of man
Survivor of the madness
That
no one understands
A
bended knee submission
To
the only one still real
Surrenders now this soldier
Who's had too much to feel
Unreconciled, this torment
He
brought before his king
For
only His forgiveness
Could ever wash him clean
