angel_from_your_nightmare

Christian song written in E with minor variations

you ask me to lay it all on the altar
i take two steps but i always falter
i know it's not supposed to be easy
but why do i always end up defeated
through your grace i start once again
and on my face is how it will end
so once again you will pick me up
and once again I will lift you up

Deception
Deflection
Repentance
of me...

i see the failure in the dreams I chase
i can see the future of what I embrace
in my hands I hold what I adore
but then I see that I am in yours
and as I watch this world slip away
it's only then can I hear you say
the reason why you created me
and then I rest knowing I am free

Reception
Reflection
Dependence
of you...

In the nighttime I will pray
this song within my heart
And in the eternal day
and you'll hear me from afar

Cleansing waters
Flow o'er my agony
Release my debt
for eternity...
