A Soul Cry

You know the feeling

it's way down deep in your soul

There's a knot or a tangle

and you cannot feel whole

Because you know you've been wrong

but you can't help it, can't fight

and your heart aches and bleeds

for what's wrong to be right

Dirty and tarnished

Abhorrent and trashed

darkness eats your horizon

and your whole future has smashed

down to the ground

your will, it isn't that strong

in these shimmering halls

you just don't seem to belong

Cause you know you've been wrong

but you can't help it, can't fight

and your heart aches and bleeds

for what's wrong to be right

way down deep in your soul

yeah, you know there's a light

But this darkness is blinding

it's obscuring your sight

Is there end to the struggle?

Perhaps some freedom to find?

Or will your failures torment you

and drive you out of your mind?

Can you ever be free

of these chains that constrict

or these habits that hold you

and then cut to the quick

Your sin ends up creeping

back around to your door

and before you can blink

your tripping, down on the floor

Cause you know you've been wrong

and you can't help it, can't fight

and your heart aches and bleeds

for what's wrong to be right

Down deep in your soul

yeah you know there's a light

But this darkness is blinding

and it's obscuring your sight

In the pit of despair

when your future is bleak

and all hope it has fled

from each place that you seek

emotions they strangle

the words that you scream

from spirit to sky

in a cry for relief

The tears they pour out

down your face unrestrained

releasing the pain

that you cannot contain

Till slowly a stillness

enters into your soul

for what once was barren

has now become full

Cause you know you've been wrong

and you can't help it, can't fight

and your heart aches and bleeds

for what's wrong to be right

But the King took the blemish

with his death on the cross

and He's presenting you holy

purged clean of the dross.
