Broken Spirit

I stand accused of loving you despite the crime
I must forgive to protect my broken heart
I see the vultures like dark angels as they swoop
But only God will ever really know the truth

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

You call it evil, I disagree
So hard to face the darker parts of you and me
You point the finger and you cast the stone
But you have secrets and confessions of your own

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Broken spirit I know your name
So lift your head high I can feel your shame
Your mind is twisted with this crazy fear
But you're in my heart and
I'm gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Oh yeah

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
