No, I didn't see this one coming
It suddenly snuck up on me
Well, I can't say You didn't tell me so
Well, I can't say You didn't warn me

Well, I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
And I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving You alone, of leaving You alone

Well, I was there when they accused You
But I guess I was too afraid
Not just once and not just twice
But three times I denied Your name

Well, I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
And I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving You alone, of leaving You alone

And I never thought I'd get even a second chance
But You've given that and so much more
And then for every time I ever did deny
You ask me if I love You, You know I do, Lord

So I'm off to follow in Your steps
It won't be easy, it's safe to say
There are only two roads I can walk on down
The one less traveled is the one You paved

Well, I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
And I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving You alone

Lord, You took the pain even though I left You
And You took the shame and You made it all Your own
Why'd You take the blame for everything that I've done?
Lord, You took the pain
You and You alone, You and You alone, You and You alone
