Lyrics

Guilty Man

I was born a guilty man,
Won’t bear no fruit to bother, to try to clear my name.
I’ve likely done all I’m accused of,
In my right mind, I bear the shame.

When you see a good man preaching,
Don’t be so fast to turn away.
It might just be the gospel teaching
To save your soul on judgment day.


Are you putting me on a grillin’ for the witness stand
Here’s my confession — and learn the lesson
I was born a guilty man.

You made your mind up, now you think that you know me,
You raise your head at my demise.
Hypocrisy is just too astounding,
We’re all the same in His holy eyes.

Are you putting me on a grillin’ for the witness stand
Here’s my confession — and learn the lesson
I was born a guilty man.
