From the womb I’ve held my pride, From the womb I’ve held my pride. Even though I knew the truth That there was nowhere I could hide; From the womb I’ve held my pride.
For too long I’ve been alone, For too long I’ve been alone. I have pushed off everyone And every kindness I’ve been shown; For too long I’ve been alone.
O save my bitter soul, my soul; My fears, they take their toll, their toll. Jesus, you alone can make me whole; O save my bitter soul!
Take my pain, Lord, take my rage, Take my pain, Lord, take my rage. All my wounded spite and fury Have become for me a cage; Take my pain, Lord, take my rage.
O save my bitter soul, my soul; My fears, they take their toll, their toll. Jesus, you alone can make me whole; O save my bitter soul!
Give me peace, Lord, give me joy; Give me peace, Lord, give me joy. Let me lay down everything That threatens only to destroy; Give me peace, Lord, give me joy.
O save my bitter soul, my soul; My fears, they take their toll, their toll. Jesus, you alone can make me whole; O save my bitter soul!
