blankets of dolour weigh me down
i drown
underneath a quilt of guilt
heavy and thick
my soul is sick with lies
oppression
separation
seven times i cry
out to heaven for deliverance
attempting to escape my own numbing penance
i fall and i fail and i fall and i fail
smothering beneath sin and emotional hell
i keep returning to vomit
as if this time it's finally going to taste sweet
failures taunt me; scores and scores
Father keep me! i'm Yours!
like a flood the enemy tempts
to wash me aside
yet You are my anchor
and i am Your bride
jealousy burns through each link
of these chains
I'M FREE! I'M FREE! Hallelujah I'm free!
just when i think
i'll inevitably sink
Your magnificent love rescues me
