Vow
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's changed
I wasted another year
Doing the same old things
I want to break out of this
Turn my life around
I'm going to make a vow
To repent and turn to You
I'm crying out to You now
As I make my New Year's vow
I'll tell You I love You
And I'll honor You somehow
Hear my promise to You in my New Year's vow
I give You all of me
You'll be all of my life
And I'll never think twice
To do all that You have for me
In my New Year's vow
Lord I'll do my best to do all that I say
I'm not perfect but I know it's okay
If I stumble You won't condemn my shame
I'm going to make a vow to repent and turn to You
I'm crying out to You now
As I make my New Year's vow
I'll tell You I love You
And I'll honor You somehow
Hear my promise to You in my New Year's vow
I give You all of me
You'll be all of my life
And I'll never think twice
To do all that You have for me
In my New Year's vow
It's a new year this year is different
From the other ones
I'm crying out to you now
As I make my New Year's vow
I'll tell You I love You
And I'll honor You somehow
Hear my promise to You in my New Year's vow
I give you all of me
You'll be all of my life
And I'll never think twice
To do all that You have for me
In my New Year's vow
