Desperation, only myself left to blame
Exasperated with my foolish, selfish ways
Lost my true love for the sake of courting this world
Will I find my way back into Your peace
Drop all my walls and come to my knees (yeah)
And in the midst of the breaking
The hurting, the aching of the soul
There’s a gift of mercy
Of hope and a chance to be remade whole
For all that is dirty
Shameful, unworthy inside of me
Christ wipes out, erases
His blood and His grace has set me free
Holy Father, I have failed You so many times
I’m despairing of defeating this nature of mine
Mighty Saviour, only Your strength is ever enough
To lift me back up, vanquish my pride
Take me apart and restore me to life
And in the midst of the breaking
The hurting, the aching of the soul
There’s a gift of mercy
Of hope and a chance to be remade whole
For all that is dirty
Shameful, unworthy inside of me
Christ wipes out, erases
His blood and His grace has set me free
