[bodytext] => Carry me across the desert Through vacant sands Singing hymns to my broken heart As the world falls through my hands Dressed in the solitude of my own skin Kneel me before a cross Help me repent and confess my sin I feel a sadness undescribable Searching for answers in the scriptures I lay my life upon the bible Captured by an undying faith My broken heart rests upon the ability to believe There is salvation among the pain That even in the midst of this suffering There is a moment to rise, to gain But I am so blinded by the sorrow I see the world burning inside my eyes And I question the desire for a tomorrow Sipping from a cup of holy wine Intoxicating myself with the blood of the divine At the alter upon my weakened knees I pray I'm not held in contempt For this sadness that has plagued me like a fatal disease I am starved by the despair Hungry for peace within my tortured soul I have come to you in hopes that I do not lose control With a kiss upon my crucifix raising my eyes to the sky Arms stretched open as I begin to cry May the angels that I deem to exist Embrace me within their wings Bestowing to me the strength to persist For I cannot do this alone That is why I have kneeled before your sacred throne Dragging my lifeline with what feels like my last breath Here I walk in the in the valley of the shadow of death In search of peace for my broken heart Something more divine than what I know to pull me through Dear God I lay my life upon my faith in you.
