Him and the Wretch
All of my blessings and nothing to bring you
All of my gifts and yet nothing to give
I know that i'm called father that's not the issue
But I'll cry on my knees till' the work comes in
Here's to each scar that I left on my savior
Here's to each demon I can't seem to kill
Here's one more chance for my faith to find failure
Father, I'd say that I won't let you down but I will
Licking your blood from my hands
Just like the wretch that I am
Lord my faith is skin and bone
White lies in suicide notes
What a feeble farewell
To die to myself
Lord give me the strength to let go
All of my agony is all I can offer
Laid at your feet with my sin and my spit
Bathing my knees in your blood on this altar
But give me a day, and we'll be here again
Well I wish I had anything more
But all of my nothing is yours
Lord my faith is skin and bone
White lies in suicide notes
What a feeble farewell
To die to myself
Lord give me the strength to let go
Lord I'm nothing I know
But I can't kill death on my own
So as weak as I am
My life's in your hands
Lord give me the strength to let go
Lord I'm bowed and I've been so for ages
No greater burden on grace could I be
How I hate that I still find you patient
How I hate that I find that you'll still love a wretch such as me
All of my gifts and yet nothing to give
I know that i'm called father that's not the issue
But I'll cry on my knees till' the work comes in
Here's to each scar that I left on my savior
Here's to each demon I can't seem to kill
Here's one more chance for my faith to find failure
Father, I'd say that I won't let you down but I will
Licking your blood from my hands
Just like the wretch that I am
Lord my faith is skin and bone
White lies in suicide notes
What a feeble farewell
To die to myself
Lord give me the strength to let go
All of my agony is all I can offer
Laid at your feet with my sin and my spit
Bathing my knees in your blood on this altar
But give me a day, and we'll be here again
Well I wish I had anything more
But all of my nothing is yours
Lord my faith is skin and bone
White lies in suicide notes
What a feeble farewell
To die to myself
Lord give me the strength to let go
Lord I'm nothing I know
But I can't kill death on my own
So as weak as I am
My life's in your hands
Lord give me the strength to let go
Lord I'm bowed and I've been so for ages
No greater burden on grace could I be
How I hate that I still find you patient
How I hate that I find that you'll still love a wretch such as me
