In Your Name

it was never You

that did me harm

it was never You...

beating me down, breaking my mind

telling me I was born

worthless, ashamed, dirty, impure

unable to be

anything but evil

without You...

it was never You

but it was done

in Your name

it was done in Your name and so

blow by blow, all I could see

was Your face

all I could see was Your face

and so I believed

it was You

and my heart was left

broken

and the rage poured in

and I screamed

and I haven't stopped

since

I scream and the pain

bleeds my soul

my mind was broken, I succumbed

I became what was beaten

into me

and I was born

again, in Your name, but

it was never You, and

my heart was left broken

The rage poured in and I screamed

All I could see was Your face

it was never You that did me harm

...but all I could see

was Your face

blow by blow I saw Your face

and I scream

I scream into rage and I see

I see Your face

as You stand over me

Covering me

from the pain

You cover me as I'm beaten

over and over again

And all I can see is Your face

Pleading with me

to give You the pain

Begging me to let You

take the beating

from me

All I can see is Your face

You take the beating

and the rage

You take the screams, the pain

You take it from me

You take it away

and I succumb

finally, In Your Name

It is done...

and my heart is left beating

once again

in You
