Of Heat & Thorns

from Confession by Paul Burkhart

/

lyrics

hours upon hours
dollars upon dollars
staring at brightened displays of cheapened ecstasy
at the expense of a child, a daughter, of the one true God.

chorus:
who will deliver me?
from this body of death?
that aches and groans
for redemption?

doubt upon doubt
pedestal on pedestal
where everyone else is but You my God
manipulate and lie, they pull me up, my security therein

chorus

the darkest of the dark
the chiefest of the chief
my spirit’s so willing
but my flesh is so damn weak

i covet a stage
that’s Yours to give
sacrifices offerred
my will appeased

oh Love Divine
reside herein
teach me repentance
and what it means to You

my one hope
i have and trust
is that You are more good
than i am not

You are

Ending:
You will deliver me,
from this body of death.
that aches and groans
for you to come.

You will deliver me;
from this body of death.
that aches and groans
for redemption.
