Memento Mori
Focused on the shallow things
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
As I exhale for the last time draw near to me
As I drift into eternity
Purge my soul of iniquity
Let my heart beat only for You
Sovereign of my heart
How can I approach You?
My judgement is close at hand
Soldier of Your word the hope of every just man
My very conscience as my witness will it stand in favour
of the things I did?
Or will it accuse me of all my sins?
All the times my passions took the reigns I could drive myself insane
Distractions and interactions usually in vain
Help me change my ways
'Cause there's only so much time in the day
And there's only so many days in time
Focused on the shallow things
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
Look upon my affliction and deliver me
Gaze upon my weakness and have sympathy
Labouring in thorns all of my days
My keeper and my shade the sun won't strike me in the day
Nor the moon by night
Grant that I may die in your favour
Give me faith and valour that won't ever waver
Keeping custody of my senses
A guard over my lips in order to fence in
Careless words
All the times my passions took the reigns I could drive myself insane
Distractions and interactions usually in vain
Help me change my ways
'Cause there's only so much time in the day
And there's only so many days in time
Focused on the shallow things
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
(I won't give You up)
(I won't give You up)
(I won't give)
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
As I exhale for the last time draw near to me
As I drift into eternity
Purge my soul of iniquity
Let my heart beat only for You
Sovereign of my heart
How can I approach You?
My judgement is close at hand
Soldier of Your word the hope of every just man
My very conscience as my witness will it stand in favour
of the things I did?
Or will it accuse me of all my sins?
All the times my passions took the reigns I could drive myself insane
Distractions and interactions usually in vain
Help me change my ways
'Cause there's only so much time in the day
And there's only so many days in time
Focused on the shallow things
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
Look upon my affliction and deliver me
Gaze upon my weakness and have sympathy
Labouring in thorns all of my days
My keeper and my shade the sun won't strike me in the day
Nor the moon by night
Grant that I may die in your favour
Give me faith and valour that won't ever waver
Keeping custody of my senses
A guard over my lips in order to fence in
Careless words
All the times my passions took the reigns I could drive myself insane
Distractions and interactions usually in vain
Help me change my ways
'Cause there's only so much time in the day
And there's only so many days in time
Focused on the shallow things
Wading through these unfamiliar waters
Drowning in my sins
Sink beneath the waves
And I'm not strong enough to swim
But I'm not giving up
(I won't give You up)
(I won't give You up)
(I won't give)
