My Defense

Don't put all Your hopes in this flesh

This flesh, this mess I am

Empty promises my steady diet

Won't be quiet till I

Spread so thin devotion

Thus far my notions rant

Don't put all Your hopes

Don't put all Your trust in me

You must not see I can't

Set the sights on failing

Target no control

Grips relax and lose hold

I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze

Sunless skies this progress

Thicker skin can't stretch the length

Wearying with face set against the elements

Is how I spent my strength

Set the sights on failing

Target no control

Grips relax and lose hold

I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze

I lose my defense at Your answers

And my resolve at Your counter ways

I can't run forever

With the lions loose on me

Show us no escape

Lest we forget we're dying

Fill my mind with Your thoughts

My lungs with Your breath

My mouth with Your words

My soul with Your death

I lose my defense at Your answers

And I come all undone with Your gaze

I lose my defense at Your answers

And my resolve at Your counter ways
