Lord the best things in life I have missed.
"Do what's right" friends would insist.
Why didn't I listen to what they had to say?
Then I would know so much more about God today.
If only I could live my life over again.
Then a much different life I would begin.
If I could turn back time on my life I would.
Then my life to Christ I would give; oh, if only I could.
No one knows this better than me.
Sin does not pay, on this I have to agree. No one is more qualified than me to say, Far away from sin you must stay.
The path I was on I was going the wrong way. But the right decision I finally made one day.
When God opened my eyes so I could see, Where the path I was on was leading me.
So many mistakes along the way I made.
And for them I have surely paid.
But God was merciful and forgave me.
This is the way He always wanted it to be.
Let me tell you a little about sin.
It is a deceiver; you can never win.
But if you decide to change your ways,
Christ will give you a better life than all your yesterdays.
One more bit of advice I have for you.
Not to live life as I did, but give your life to Christ, that do.
Then you won't have to face your guilt and shame.
He will give you a life free of all the things you are to blame.
