The day of reckoning is almost here
I'm on my way to the Promised Land
I'm sure there will be consequences
That's all right
I need a reckoning with myself, with God, with life

Absolution would be welcome
To myself I say
I want so much to be better
And in every way

I have so much to be grateful for
I must win this race
Against the bad in me
I want a state of grace

Jerusalem here I come
I need your open arms
I am finally here
Ready to disarm me from selfishness
My venality
With hope and determination
Help me succeed
