Break Me and Bless Me

Break Me and Bless Me

Fall 2010

Verse 1

You speak and it’s unclear

My heart is clenched with fear

That what You said is what You really mean.

I cannot answer Yes, Lord,

For my heart, it seeths with greif,

And I cannot make myself believe that You would speak this pain.

Chorus

Through the long night, don’t let go

Though the day breaks, don’t let go

Fight with me, wrestle with me

Never give in to me: break me and bless me.

Verse 2

Your power is unmatched,

Your strength beyond compare,

And You will bring Your will to come to pass.

Still I fear You’ll let me win, Lord,

But I cannot acquiesce

O bitterest Friend, match blow for blow – don’t abandon me to my strength:

Chorus

Bridge

God of Jacob, my Portion, my Passion,

Ladder of Jacob, Who opened the heavens,

Spirit Who came down and who remains:

Peniel, Pen’el, uncover Your Face,

Lead me to Bethel from this desolate place;

My soul thirsts for You, the Living God.

Chorus 2

“In the morning, the fleece was wet,

In the morning, the fleece was dry,

And Moses could not run away from the burning bush.

Come and flood My throne with tears,

Come and match your strength to Mine,

For I will not let you break away from Me.”

Chorus
