I Wasn'T There For You

I gaze at you upon the cross And know deep down in my heart I was responsible For the plight that You went through All though it happened long ago I wasn't even born You took it upon Yourself To save me from the scorn I know I haven't always Made the right decisions And those that I did make I did so with good intentions It was Your laws that I did break Those called the Ten Commandments And You hang there upon the cross For my indiscretions And now today centuries later You're still there for me to view And all the memories come flooding back I wasn't there for You
