Atonement

I realized when I was born
I'm far from perfect here.
I don't know what I'm doing and
That brings so many fears.

I know I'm going to grow up
But what will I become?
Will I be rude, or proud or lust?
No, I'll follow His Son.
The One who saved all human kind
The One who came back home.

And though I know I'm gonna sin
And mess up frequently,
I'll try my best to do what's right
And just live righteously.

But when I make all my mistakes
And my heart continues to ache
I know through my Savior, my friend
I will be washed and clean again.
