puzzle the donkey's lament
(walker)

there is a false voice within that says salvation
is only attainable through perfection.
and all of his judgements are rendered
meaningless by the voice of Christ.

underneath my skin underneath my soul
somewhere deep within that only i would know
i don't know his name only know his face
only know the shame i can't quite erase

but i can see him as he walks my way
i can taste his tender kiss
and i can feel him standing next to me in the
darkness

it is not for me but for him to judge
he tells me this must be all for my own good
see me through his eyes by my fears betrayed
so much to despise ugly and afraid

and i can see him as he walks my way
i can burn under his kiss
and i can feel him lying next to me
in the darkness

look into his face one who calls me friend
shows me now my place silent and condemned
bend me through i break dry me till i see
must do what it takes to destroy my faith in me

and i can see him as he walks away
i can fell his empty stare
and sometimes i wonder if he even
knows i'm there

but i can see him as he walks my way
i burn under his kiss
and i can hear him lying in my ear in the
darkness

does a Savior speak of grace that i can't see
is it you i seek or is it just me
gone without a trace my deceitful friend
is this not my place am i not condemned

and i can feel mercy breathing through me
as freedom weeps within
and i am gasping just to hear that voice again

and i can feel him rushing over me
i can feel my rage replaced
and i've been struck down damned forgiven
saved by grace
