I love you, I do, you bet

There once was a boy who stole him a toy
From a bin at the five and dime
It wasn't too long before he knew it was wrong
And lamented deep down his dark crime
He suffered in silence ashamed of himself, afraid of the wrath of God
He was convinced he was heading for hell, and a life behind bars on this sod
Then his Momma came in to his room full of fears
And her eyes said, "It¹s time for a chat."
He made his confession in sorrow and tears
As she held him so close on her lap...
Then swore she heard the angels clap

(Chorus)
(Spoken) And he said to her
(Sung) There's nothing so bad, you can't confide in me love
No heartache or lasting regret
Nothing so sad, that you've tried to be free of
That I won't forgive and forget...cause I love you, I do
Oh I love you, its true, yes I love you, I do, you bet!

One rainy morn before a baby was born a wife of five years fell apart
Through sobs that just choked, a dam finally broke
She told her husband the ache of her heart
"Before I met you, when I was in school, I fell mighty hard for this guy
He was trouble I knew, friends called me a fool
But I wouldn't let go of the lie
When we finally broke up I was three months along
Afraid and ashamed and confused
I borrowed some money, I know it was wrong
But I couldn't see clear what to do
God knows I'm so sorry...do you?

(Spoken) Then he said to her

(Chorus)
Most of our life we bleed from a knife, that cuts from the inside out
We push down the lid, keep the scars hid act like we haven't a doubt
But now and again a memory slips in, of a moment that filled us with shame
When we could've or should've in retrospect would've
But didn't and that's really quite plain
Somewhere on the journey we need to get quiet, turn off the comfort of noise
Confess what we've done and not try to deny it
To the Maker of all girls and boys...then hear Him say as the angels rejoice

Chorus
