The Likes Of Me Lyrics

Well you can dunk me in the river

Or in the middle of the sea

But there's just not enough water on the planet

To wash these sins from me

Ah, but Jesus loved a hooker

And He forgave a dying thief

It gives me hope to know His heart could hold a love

To love the likes of me

It gives me hope to know His heart could hold a love

To love the likes of me

I'm not a sinner 'cause I've sinned

No, I sin 'cause I'm a sinner

One's just a label and the other is a way of life

When Adam bit the apple, he planted my family tree

Eden never needed any weeding 'til the likes of me

Oh, Eden never needed any weeding 'til the likes of me

For the likes of me, God's own Son was killed

For the likes of me, what a price to pay

For the likes of me, God's own blood was spilled

So the likes of me might be saved

I could hail a thousand Marys

And spend a lifetime on my knees

But there's just not enough penance on the planet

For a priest to pardon me

Ah, but Jesus loves the fallen

And we all fell from that tree

Only Jesus has the holy hand of mercy for the likes of me

Holy Jesus has the only hand of mercy for the likes of me

For the likes of me, God's own Son was killed

For the likes of me, what a price to pay

For the likes of me, God's own blood was spilled

So the likes of me might be saved

Well you can dunk me in the river

Or in the middle of the sea

But only Jesus has the holy hand of mercy for the likes of me

It gives me hope to know His heart could hold a love

To love the likes of me

It gives me hope. It gives me hope

It gives me hope. It gives me hope
