Verse 1
Here I am again with my back against the wall
I’m not surprised, but I didn’t plan to fall
There’s no use in running, I could never get away
I know it’s best for me, so I’m asking you to stay
Chorus
Don’t leave me, don’t take your flight sweet Holy Spirit
Though I’ve failed you Lord, I’m here on bended knees
And forgive me, I need the blood of Christ the Savior
To take the guilt and shame and give my soul sweet peace.
Verse 2
I know you said that you’d never leave your own
But I must face the fact that I’ll reap the seeds I’ve sown
There’s no use pretending, I couldn’t fool you anyway
I couldn’t live without you, Lord, that’s why I’m here today.
Chorus
Bridge
Take the guilt and shame and give my soul sweet...
Peace, peace, wonderful peace
coming down from the Father above
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray
In fathomless billow of love
Peace, peace, Wonderful peace
Coming down from the Father above
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray
In fathomless billows of love.
