Oh, wipe your face again

That river's runnin' down

Your heartbreak canyons

Oh, untold side of sin

You give your body

To the young D'Artagnan

And you'll be carryin'

Their love companions

Oh, wasted soul is suicide

Ooh, don't you know

You're the reason Jesus died

Oh, not everyone who sees that door

Will come inside

So have you tried to knock it off

Oh, say you can't believe

Faith don't coincide

With earthly knowledge

Sad, you've been deceived

Too many lessons

At the devil's college

The root of bitterness

Has sprouted foliage

You say you're harvesting a revelation

And all you're reaping

Are the grapes of wrath

And all you're getting is a reputation

You look at love and laugh

But if true love

If true love ever crossed your path

You'd be on your knees

Begging please forgiveness

Mercy on me, Jesus

Sweet forgiveness

Mercy on me, Jesus

On your knees

Begging sweet forgiveness

Mercy on me, Jesus

Begging sweet forgiveness

Mercy on me, Jesus

Don't you know

Wasted soul is suicide

And don't you know

That you're the reason Jesus died

And not everyone who sees that door

Will come inside

So ask yourself, have you tried

Have you really tried to knock it off

(Oh, yeah, yeah)
