There were tears in your eyes
You were down on your knees
Asking forgiveness. Said you'd do anything
But, did ya mean it?
[Chorus]
And I know you know the difference
Between a promise and a lie
And I know you know the difference
Between what is wrong and right
I know you said you
gave it all to Jesus Christ
You said that someday. Said you'd do anything
But, did ya mean it?
There was a time in your life
When you were so afraid
Nothing could go right
You got on your knees and prayed
You said that someday. You would do anything
But, did ya mean it?
Now the time has come to make yor promise true
But you sit around after all He's done for you
You need forgiveness, you don't do anything
You didn't mean it
[Chorus]
