Defining Me |
| On the precipice of nothing new |
| Fell into question all I held as truth |
| It seems there’s holes in all my fairy tales |
| Despite my passion to preach them well |
| A yell hushed after many long worn years |
| Not a failure to launch, but to persevere |
| Being one so close to write upon my arm |
| A testament I’ve since torn apart |
| All these rings around my wrists |
| How they scream who I am in this |
| I’m not sanctified and I’m not free |
| There’s no love that’s come to rescue me |
| Bend my heart and even break my knees |
| But it’s these chains that are defining me |
| Sin is all I’ve been able to wield |
| It’s been my sword and even been my shield |
| And death O' death is my only home |
| A grave so familiar I could call it my own |
| 'Cause a loving grace could only go so far |
| As to show my wounds and reveal my scars |
| A medicine I’ve taken to get well |
| But the aftertaste is that of my own hell |
| I’m not sanctified and I’m not free |
| There’s no love that’s come to rescue me |
| Bend my heart and even break my knees |
| But it’s these chains that are defining me |
| I met Jesus, yeah he came to me |
| And he said «Son, do you want to believe?» |
| I cried «Oh help me from the grave I’m in, |
| And teach me life and who I really am.» |
| I’m not sanctified and I’m not free |
| There’s no love that’s come to rescue me |
| Bend my heart and even break my knees |
| But it’s these chains that are defining me |
