Back Again
M.C.M. Lyrics

You messed up again
Acknowledging the mistake that was made

Got weak and gave into sin
Admitting to succumbing to temptation

Well I've got good news for you my friend
Offering hope during a difficult time

God is faithful and just to forgive
Reminding that forgiveness is available through faith

Because he loves us
Explaining the motivation behind God's forgiveness

We've been crucified with Christ
Highlighting the spiritual connection to Jesus

It's time to get back up again
Encouraging a return to faith and righteousness

And walk in new life
Emphasizing the opportunity for renewal

When I make a mistake and
Explaining the nature of human fallibility

Don't repent right away the
Acknowledging the potential delay in taking responsibility

Enemy tries to get inside my head
Describing the influence of temptation

(Inside my head)
Clarifying the location of the internal struggle

But I already know that
Expressing confidence in returning to faith

Jesus wants me where he's at
Reaffirming the importance of a relationship with God

Don't you know this is why he bled
Connecting Christ's sacrifice to the possibility of forgiveness

All have sinned and fall short his glory
Recognizing the universal need for forgiveness

But you gotta get back up again
Encouraging perseverance despite past failures

Choose to turn away from sin
Asserting the power of free will

We can do all things through Christ
Expressing the strength that comes from faith

Be strong in the Lord
Encouraging reliance on God's guidance

And in the power of his might
Emphasizing the magnitude of God's power

There he was just chillin at home
Introducing a story of personal struggle

Walkin right, livin saved, stayed away from wrong
Describing the singer's initial faithfulness

Only child with a righteous soul
Emphasizing the artist's moral character

Had Christ, had dreams, had the mindset to reach his goals
Establishing the singer's spiritual and personal aspirations

Then suddenly he started to sway
Describing the singer's unexpected turn

Started gettin into trouble
Illustrating the impact of temptation

Evil clouded his way
Describing the influence of negative energy

Now he was witty
Highlighting a characteristic of complexity

But his thoughts weren't pretty
Revealing the internal struggle caused by sin

Instead of seeking God he sought crime in the city
Contrasting the singer's original priorities with his current behavior

(And tell 'em what he said)
Transitioning to a dialogic style

Jesus I really really wonder why
Expressing doubt in God's forgiveness

You'd consider forgiving me yet another time
Acknowledging a repeated mistake

Cus when I turned my back and was straight sinnin
Confessing to sinful actions

Your love was patient your grace was sufficient
Recognizing the past availability of forgiveness

He was a gentleman
Reflecting humility

You said you'd wait for me to get it together
Recalling the promise of God's faithfulness

And to remember you're relevance
Stressing the importance of faith and spirituality

So when I say I'm sorry you know it's genuine
Affirming the sincerity of repentance

(It's real)
Reinforcing the authenticity of the artist's emotions

Lord forgive me as I repent again
Attaining absolution through renewed faith

It's not over you can get back up again
Offering hope and encouragement

His love covers all sin
Describing the depth and extent of God's forgiveness

Just choose to win
Emphasizing the importance of making the right choices

And get back up again
Encouraging resilience and perseverance
