I walked this life a far from perfect man,

made many mistakes almost any way you can;

I’ve fallen short of the glory of God,

I’ve dwelled on these things which led me to trod;

To a nation called Condemn

Made up of all my faults, each residents,

that remind me of my sin,

all coming together for victory,

attacking me from within;

they whispered to me in my center,

also known as my soul,

every day reminding me of how I failed the goal;

of living for Christ and striving for His upward call,

I let this nation have power over me,

I didn’t see how it could fall;

But then Jesus sent His Spirit of life to set me free,

and He spoke there is no condemnation in He;

This spoke to me and I looked back no more,

I went to live with Him when He opened up the door;

Yes, the nation of Condemn is still there with their laws of sin and death,

but now they have no power, no breath;

they occasionally still try to call me back, but I don’t need the call,

I found a better voice,

because my Savior’s voice is all;

Now His Spirit whispers to me,

the words I need to hear,

words of conviction and love,

these words I hold dear.
