[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, prodigal, if no one ever told you
Your Father's waiting for you at the gate
I'm sorry, wanderer, if I led you to believe
That your Creator wasn't proud of what He made
[Pre-Chorus]
I've done all the wrong things
For what I thought were right reasons
I've been so unkind to you
[Chorus]
I try, but I don't always get it right
I'm chasing Jesus, but I fall sometimes
Oh, and I, I throw stones in His name
And pretend He'd do the same
If I'm the reason why you believe the lies, I apologize
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry, questioner, if the answers that I gave you
Made you feel like tragedy was in His plans
I'm sorry, child of God, if I made you feel so small
That you fell right through the holes in His hands
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've done all the wrong things
For what I thought were right reasons
But that is no excuse
[Chorus]
I try, but I don't always get it right
I'm chasing Jesus, but I fall sometimes
Oh, and I, I throw stones in His name
And pretend He'd do the same
If I'm the reason why you believe the lies, I apologize
[Bridge]
For the words I said that Jesus wouldn't say
For the chance to love I just threw away
You are loved the way you are
I'm sorry I left out that part
Turns out I'm the one that needed grace
[Chorus]
I try, but I don't always get it right
I'm chasing after Jesus, but I fall so hard sometimes
I throw stones in His name and pretend He'd do the same
If I'm the reason why you believe the lies, I apologize
[Outro]
I apologize
