Helpless


Take me off guard
Catch me unsheltered
Encounter me exposed
So I can’t resist
But I helplessly melt
Under your ruthless pressure
A scream is boiling up
From deep deep inside
For I can do nothing
Until this intensity subsides
The pain becomes unbearable
But I don’t want to budge
Until you’ve done what you came for
And I am utterly undone
Love my dying heart
With your relentless hand
Diffuse the evil within
Until my flesh is dead and you win
Come to me unveiled
So I can see the fierce beauty
Of your holiness and purity
Where all I’ve done that’s good
Is put to shame
Where all I am without you
Is worthless and to blame
I bend involuntarily
While your glory undoes me
Yet I am fully content
For I’ve been met
By the power of my Maker
By a love this world knows not
And through the pain of my dying
I find life
A life a never knew possible
So meet me unguarded
Yank my heart to yours before I pull back
So I can’t breathe on my own
So all I am is all I lack
For only in you do I count any gain
Only for you can I endure this pain
Only in your love will I never be the same
You capture me and give me your name
