[Verse 1]
For what I’ve done, I am not proud
Crossed my heart and hoped to die
It’s time I ought to be honest now
Still, I swore I had nothing to hide
[Verse 2]
I turned away and made my escape
No need to pretend liars get to heaven
I know my verdict is coming in
Felt that dreadful ache
I felt the weight of it
(And then, I hear trumpets sound)
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a sitting duck
(One, two, three, four,)
Who’s run out of God’s luck
(Five, six, seven)
(One, two, three, four,)
A plant that needs rooting up
(Five, six, seven)
(And then, I hear a voice say)
[Chorus]
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
[Verse 3]
I’m a fire that’s never burned bright
You’re the sky pouring holy water down
I know something in us has to die
But, all my flame is drowned and put out
(And then, I hear trumpets sound)
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a sitting duck
(One, two, three, four,)
Who’s run out of God’s luck
(Five, six, seven)
(One, two, three, four,)
A plant that needs rooting up
(Five, six, seven)
(And then, I hear a voice say)
[Chorus]
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
[Verse 4]
Too many messiahs on my cross again
Heard you’re coming like a thief in the night
A bored Savior’s petulance sets in
I felt the weight of my crimes
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a sitting duck
(One, two, three, four,)
Who’s run out of God’s luck
(Five, six, seven)
(One, two, three, four,)
A plant that needs rooting up
(Five, six, seven)
(And then, I hear a voice say)
[Chorus]
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
[Chorus]
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
Depart from me!
Depart from me!
(For I never knew you)
