The day's divided my attention, like a thousand days before,
So, as darkness falls around me, I'm in need of something more,
For the wretch from the redeemer,
For the sinner from the Son, who's arrayed in light forever, who is the only holy one,
His heart is never hardened, his tongue has never lied,
He sure has affected my pride.
So I've harboured my redemption, and I've gathered my regrets,
I've struggled like a debtor who's still carrying his debts,
I've wandered like an orphan, down every dirty street, (wandered like an orphan)
'Til I stood before the man who bent down to wash my feet,
And then he brought me to his table; a son he never denied,
He sure has affected my pride.
I used to put you to the test,
Used to barrel out my chest - so much bigger than the rest,
But now I'm crawling on my face for a saviour's saving grace,
It looks like you've finally put me into a place where I realise...
It's time we got together; a father and his son,
The day threw dice for my affection,
And now you're the only one who interprets my condition,
Who sees clearly through the wreck,
Who saw me crumble 'neath the weight of this piece of tin around my neck,
A cross I never could've carried, no matter how hard I tried,
He sure has affected my pride,
Yeah, he sure has affected my pride.
Day's divided my attention, like a thousand days before,
So, as darkness falls around me, I'm in need of something more.
