Sometimes I wonder am I more saint or sinner Is it self-preservation or selfish and me-centered? And how, how can I know when Your voice feels so far off? Am I saint or sinner self-preserving or self-centered? Your voice isn't sounding all I hear is silence And I beg, I plead, Lord, am I a saint or a sinner? Sometimes I can't breathe my soul suffocating in questions without answers What do you see, in me? Saint or a sinner? Do I delight or disappoint, You and others with this life I'm trying to live? Questions begging answers can't rest until they're found Saint or sinner, self-preserving or self-centered? "God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: He makes saints out of sinners." ― The Journals of Soren Kierkegaard
