Only You
Only you can lift
Out of the deepest, slimiest
Pit of despair
The broken human soul
Crushed, shattered,
Reeling, staggering
From the effects
The price, the toll
That wretched darkness extracts
Oh, he is good, that
Enemy of mine
Hounding me thru
All of my time
But you sit enthroned
Ensconced in your power
And your name
Destroying his sordid game
That prince of the air
That satan
Breathing his hot breath
In my face
From birth even unto today
But you remove
Of his evil every trace
Winning me to yourself
My pain you do embrace
My spirit you lift up
Until I can say
With joy you have filled my cup!
So come, Lord Jesus,
Come!
Do it again
As you did back then!!
