Holiness Cries

[Intro]
Holiness cries, “I’m contradicted!
Patience and mercy have been despised
Goodness grieves in agony!”
For purity weeps when holiness cries

[Verse 1]
Holiness cries from a secret within
Our flesh embodies the life form of sin
I’ve been a slave to the screams of my mind
Our vain desires of the wandering eye

[Chorus]
I need to know You’re right here with me
It’s crawling back, I need to seek Your face
When I look away, I see what’s in my head
I need to know You’re right here with me
I’m running back and now I see Your face
Will You deliver me? With You I find my rest

[Post-Chorus]
I feel it creeping back again

[Verse 2]
My error left me, and I feel the terror grow
I’ve turned to weeping what was meant for joy
Deliverance
(We need deliverance, I need deliverance!)
From our wandering eyes

[Verse 3]
Why do I do the things that I hate?
The sharp bite gives agony
Why do I do the things that I hate?
Please, Lord, deliver me!

[Chorus]
I need to know You’re right here with me
It’s crawling back, I need to seek Your face
When I look away, I see what’s in my head
I need to know You’re right here with me
I’m running back and now I see Your face
Will You deliver me? With You I find my rest

[Breakdown]
Purify my way according to your Word
For I can do all things through Christ!

[Outro]
Will You deliver me?
With you I find my rest
