When I was a self-made man
I thought I knew it all
But when trouble came along
When it had me up against the wall

Then I said to God
"Lord, I'm sorry!"
Then I said to Jesus
"Take my sins away!"
Then I said
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Spirit of God, touch my heart!"

When I was complaining
(You know I was complaining)
I didn't understand the way
(No, no, no, no)
Then I read the Bible
(Yeah!)
And it told me 'bout a better day

Then I said to God
"Lord, I'm sorry!"
Then I said to Jesus
"Take my sins away!"
Then I said
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Spirit of God, touch my heart!"
Then the preacher told me
(You know the preacher told me)
Told me God was on His throne
(Told me God is on His throne)
And about time, Judgment Day
You know that we could never stand alone

Then I said to God
"Lord, I'm sorry!"
Then I said to Jesus
"Take my sins away!"
Then I said
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Spirit of God, touch my heart!"

Then I heard of Jesus
That He gave His life for me
Then He sent a Spirit
So with Him we can be free

Then I said to God
"Lord, I'm sorry!"
Then I said to Jesus
"Take my sins away!"
Then I said
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
"Holy Spirit, won't You speak to me!"
Holy Spirit, precious Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, precious Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, precious Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, precious Holy Spirit...
