Lord, I'm hurting and weary
My heart is burning sincerely
I can't abandon the banner that's hanging over me
Declaring daily the ways that I've been living unfaithfully
I put my faith in humanity, but my humanity fails me!
That which I despise, I just keep doing
I staged an uprising, but my fluid
Consistently inconsistent behavior
Leads me down the streets to sin that we favor
I blew it again!
Back to the same pattern, though I knew it as death
I've been doing my best, but I can't put it to rest
I'm needing You to cover me with Grace and Love, Lord!
I repent!
I don't
Know why I
Keep on going down this road
Every time
I stumble - I'm blind
I wanna be in the light
Give me life
I repent
The fool in me is fooling me to foolery
Foolishly I follow the foolishness in deed
Indeed, I bleed because I see
My selfishness seems
To be much greater than how great it should be
It needs to be degraded: grated through a great grate
Eliminate the element halting my great escape
Penetrate the intricate net of guilt I can't erase
Let the blood of Christ pump through and cleanse my veins
All the lustful nights that I've been battling trying to hide
Just battered and crying inside
A matador fighting for life
This bull gored me
Metaphorical story
I'll spare you allegory details
Only You can prevail, God
I surrender to Your love
'Cause the more that I try to escape the more that I feel stuck
The only break - for the - finger - trap is to rest - in Your - arms
I don't
Know why I
Keep on going down this road
Every time
I stumble - I'm blind
I wanna be in the light
Give me life
I repent
How do I even begin to describe
The pain that has come in and captured my mind?
This weight is so heavy, my spirit is tired
And I know I've been carrying it several miles
I'm beaten then battered then broken and done
Why do I battle? I've already won
I'm stuck on this path I've already begun
Stranded on the moon trying to get to the sun
I'm planets apart from perfection incarnate
I'll never live up to the people before me
If anything within me deserves to live on
LORD, take it and spark it and light up a fire
Burn out the darkness that's within my heart
A light on the mountain between me and God
I've surrendered the battles I've already fought
The mountain will crumble, the pain will be gone
