We Fall, We Rise

The Darkness of our lives doesn't hold back but begin
All the evils of live don't disperse but seep in
Though we regard ourselves as Children of Light
We fall and tremble, and murder and fight
----------------------------------------------------

Words cannot being to express my sorrow, my shame
I ask you for help God, because you've known every pain
I crumble and fall to the dust of the floor
From my sins I cannot hide, because I keep doing more

My crimes out number all crimes that have been written
And I'm hoping Dear God, that I will not be the one to be smitten
Because I am the failure, of a life that should be better
I live less, and fade more, of sin I am the begetter

What would you do with me God if I thought curses in my head?
What would you do if I no longer prayed in my bed?
Would you disown me, if I turned my back on you?
Would you beat me and break me through and through?

Right now I'm torn, on the edge, and frayed
Burned and scathed, tortured, betrayed
My power crumbles in their hands, my fight for righteousness fails
No longer does my spirit or heart do as you did, it no longer prevails

My hope is no longer what makes you my flame
My fire is my sin, and I am to blame
I wish it could change, I wish I had fought
But now my future is dim, it begins to rot

From you my heart has fled, it has retreated
I am the dark side of the moon, I am defeated
From you I never give, I just whine and I take
How God can this go on? Finally, I break

My soul is calloused and horribly burised
I feel fear and hatred, for those who are abused
How Lord can you let them trample us and win?
Or are the worlds problems, my own failure, my personal sin?

I pray you help me to find my way, so that this life I can endure
Lord you might be my only shot, my only redeemable cure
Can you help me change all of my dreadfully evil ways?
Can you help me stand and laugh and give you my praise?
