Forgive me, Father--I cannot praise
To my side my hands are chained
Your perfect love and mercy are key
To dissolving the fetters and setting me free

I see my flaws--they weigh me down
At your feet, I'm prostrate on the ground
I am a miserable captive of these sins
It doesn't feel good anymore, I'm stretched too thin

I've been a scavenger of love in all the wrong places,
Hoping that, through other people, it would fill my empty spaces
I have fallen so far from you
By evil, blinded to all that is true

I am shamed and incomplete
On my own I am frail and met with defeat
The ways of this world have left me bitter and numb
With a zombied spirit, waiting for death to come

I need your grace and mercy unbending
Without you, my heart is incapable of mending
I need your unconditional love to breathe
Trying to be strong on my own is suffocating me

I beg you, fill me with your Spirit hallowed
I'm so sick of being apathetic and shallow
Tired of looking for meaning and only finding discord
Father, reveal to me the truth--what is this spirit for?
