Dont put all Your hopes in this flesh

This flesh, this mess I am

Empty promises my steady diet

Wont be quiet till I

Spread so thin devotion

Thus far my notions rant

Dont put all Your hopes

Dont put all Your trust in me

You must not see I cant



Set the sights on failing

Target no control

Grips relax and lose hold



I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze



Sunless skies this progress

Thicker skin cant stretch the length

Wearying with face set against the elements

Is how I spent my strength



Set the sights on failing

Target no control

Grips relax and lose hold



I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze

I lose my defense at Your answers

And my resolve at Your counter ways



I cant run forever

With the lions loose on me

Show us no escape

Lest we forget were dying

Fill my mind with Your thoughts

My lungs with Your breath

My mouth with Your words

My soul with Your death



I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze

I lose my defense at Your answers

And my resolve at Your counter ways
