lyrics from 1-11-09

At church this Sunday, we finished up the series on Jacob with the story of his wrestling with the mysterious man that both blesses and breaks him.(Editor's note: i'm not sure if this will run next week, as it depends on us going to church to create it.  i'll likely know by saturday.)Here are the lyrics from this week.

i came face to face with death

and you spared me

i am undeserving of

this blessing

and i strive against this skin

that constrains me

the knives of each breath

they kill me

over and over again

i will not let you

will not let you go

i will not let you

will not let you go

i was all alone

then you were with me

i was once at ease

but now i'm drowning

i hold fast to my life

lest you take it

you touch me one last time

i am laid waste

all my strength is gone

i will not let you

will not let you go

i will not let you

will not let you go
