resisting redemption
taught me to punish
no pleasure for me
cut and beat and starve
defeat from victory
as life becomes good
I retreat and flee
cut my beating heart
death to my body
tired of this cycle
I want to be free
feel your redemption
find out how to be
stubborn rebellion
I must bend my knee
open my wounded
soul for you to see
my punishment you
endured on a tree
so I have freedom
to live in beauty |
