1. As a child, I foolishly turned God away,
Not knowing the heartbreak a sinner must pay,
But God, in His goodness, has let me return,
To share with His children this lesson I learned,
Chorus:
Sin will take you farther than you want to go,
Slowly, but wholly, taking control,
Sin will leave you longer than you want to stay,
Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay.
2. So with pleasure and promises, Sin took control,
Leaving me dying, with nothing to show,
Gone were my loved ones, and my dearest friends,
Only a Saviour could love me again.
