Verse 1
I know I'm not the only one
who ever sins and makes mistakes (Romans 3:23)
But it seems like I'm the only one
who says I'm sorry forgive me (Matthew 5:23-24)
What is it about those words
that make it foreign to your mouth
I guess sometimes it's just too hard
to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39)
Chorus
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by
the words of a friend (Psalm 41:9)
Give me the power to forgive (Mark 11:25)
and love my neighbor as myself
You've been through what I've been through (Hebrews 4:15)
You know the kiss of a friend (Matthew 26:49-50)
You proved to me on the cross
that You loved me as Yourself (Romans 5:8)
Verse 2
You know that I know
there is no freedom when we speak
There's something in between us
that makes us both act differently (Hebrews 12:14-15)
You try to act like nothing's wrong
that the problem will just handle itself
God screams don't let the sun go down before
you love your neighbor as yourself (Ephesians 4:25-26)
Chorus 2
I gotta get my life in line with you (Romans 12:1-2)
and remove the plank from my eye (Matthew 7:4-5)
gotta see with the eyes of love you give (1 Samuel 16:7)
so I'll love my neighbor as myself
